Immunohistochemical study of estrogen receptor-related antigen, progesterone, and estrogen receptors in human intracranial meningiomas

Abstract

This study suggests that ER-D5 has some role in the growth of the meningioma and that the expression of ER-D5 in human meningioma is independent of ER as it is in breast cancer. The localization of PR in the meningioma cells indicate that at least some of these cells are functionally active.
