An assay is available to determine the presence or absence of oestrogen receptors in breast cancer cells. The presence of oestrogen receptors predicts a 60% response rate to empirical hormonal therapy, and the absence a 10% response rate. Early evidence suggests that the additional presence of other hormone receptors in breast cancer cells will improve this response rate.
有一种检测方法可用于确定乳腺癌细胞中雌激素受体的存在与否。雌激素受体的存在预示着对经验性激素治疗有60%的反应率，而不存在则预示着10%的反应率。早期证据表明，乳腺癌细胞中其他激素受体的额外存在将提高这一反应率。
