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.
Breast cancer tumours that are ER/PR-positive are 60% likely to respond to hormonal therapy. Tumours that are ER/PR negative are only 5% to 10% likely to respond to hormonal therapy. Hormonal therapies for breast cancer are treatments used after surgery, chemotherapy, and/or radiotherapy are finished.They are designed to help prevent recurrence of the disease by blocking the effects of oestrogen.bout 65% of these are also PR positive. They grow in response to another hormone, progesterone. If your breast cancerâs cells have a significant number of receptors for either oestrogen or progesterone, your cancer is considered hormone-receptor positive and will likely to respond to hormonal therapies.
