4Estrogen receptor test — An estrogen receptor test is a lab test to find out if cancer cells have estrogen receptors (proteins to which estrogen will bind). If the cells have estrogen receptors, they may need estrogen to grow, and this may affect how the cancer is… …
5estrogen receptor — (ER) a type of nuclear receptor consisting of a cellular regulatory protein that binds estrogens, found on nearly all cell types, but particularly in estrogen sensitive tissues such as the uterus and breast. Cytoplasmic levels are measured in… …
6estrogen receptor — ER. A protein found inside the cells of the female reproductive tissue, some other types of tissue, and some cancer cells. The hormone estrogen will bind to the receptors inside the cells and may cause the cells to grow. Also called ER …
7estrogen receptor test — A lab test to find out if cancer cells have estrogen receptors (proteins to which estrogen will bind). If the cells have estrogen receptors, they may need estrogen to grow, and this may affect how the cancer is treated …
8estrogen receptor negative — ER . Describes cells that do not have a protein to which the hormone estrogen will bind. Cancer cells that are ER do not need estrogen to grow, and usually do not stop growing when treated with hormones that block estrogen from binding. Also… …
9estrogen receptor positive — ER+. Describes cells that have a protein to which the hormone estrogen will bind. Cancer cells that are ER+ need estrogen to grow, and may stop growing when treated with hormones that block estrogen from binding. Also called ER+ …
