Hormone receptor status. Hormone receptor status is a main factor in planning breast cancer treatment. Some breast cancer cells grow with the help of estrogen and/or progesterone (female hormones produced in the body). These cancer cells have special proteins inside, called hormone receptors.
Hormone status of breast cancers includes: 1  Estrogen receptor (ER) positive. This type of breast cancer is sensitive to estrogen and may respond to hormone therapy. 2  Progesterone receptor (PR) positive. This type of breast cancer is sensitive to progesterone and may respond to hormone therapy. 3  Hormone receptor (HR) negative.
