Prognostic Significance of the 67-Kilodalton Laminin Receptor Expression in Human Breast Carcinomas

Abstract

These preliminary findings also suggest that hormones may have a regulatory role in the in vivo expression of the 67-kd laminin receptor, which supports the hypothesis that hormone therapy might inhibit expression of the receptor. Studies of expression of this receptor in tumors of patients with extremely different sex hormone levels (e.g., men and pregnant women) are in progress.
