this means that estrogen but not progesterone may be supporting the growth and spread of the cancer cells er pr+ about 2 % of breast cancers are estrogen receptor negative and progesterone receptor positive this means that the hormone progesterone is likely to support the growth of this canceronly a small number of breast cancers test negative for estrogen receptors but positive for progesterone receptorshis means that the cells have receptors for both hormones which could be supporting the growth of the breast cancer er+ pr about 13 % of breast cancers are estrogen receptor positive and progesterone receptor negative
