Abstract
The clinically inflammatory tumors are considered to be very severe carcinomas characterized by a particularly low rate of survival at 5 years [6, 14]. In the present study, we have simultaneously determined estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PgR) in these tumors and compared the results with those obtained in primary operable carcinomas. The prognostic value of ER has also been studied.
