Oestrogen receptor status has been determined by an immunocytochemical assay using fine-needle aspiration samples of primary breast cancers in elderly patients. In a prospective study 56 patients were treated with tamoxifen only. Satisfactory assays were achieved in 49 patients. Disease was controlled by tamoxifen in 32 of 35 (91%) patients with oestrogen receptor positive tumours, compared with only 1 (7%) of 14 who were receptor negative. Immunocytochemical assay on fine-needle aspiration samples is relatively non-invasive and simple to perform, it accurately predicts response to tamoxifen in elderly patients and can be used to select patients for tamoxifen only therapy.
雌激素受体状态通过免疫细胞化学分析法测定,该方法使用老年患者原发性乳腺癌的细针穿刺样本。在一项前瞻性研究中,56例患者仅接受他莫昔芬治疗。49例患者获得了满意的检测结果。在35例雌激素受体阳性肿瘤患者中,32例(91%)的疾病通过他莫昔芬得到控制,相比之下,14例受体阴性患者中只有1例(7%)得到控制。对细针穿刺样本进行免疫细胞化学分析相对无创且操作简单,它能准确预测老年患者对他莫昔芬的反应,可用于选择仅接受他莫昔芬治疗的患者。
