Quantitation of estrogen and progesterone receptors in breast cancer has contributed to a better understanding of the prognosis of hormone treatment. In case of lymph node involvement adjuvant chemotherapy is indicated in estrogen receptor negative tumours. In patients with positive estrogen receptor pattern, hormone treatment eventually combined with chemotherapy is recommended. Comparable results are found after treatment with antiestrogens, side-effects, however, are found less frequently.
乳腺癌中雌激素和孕激素受体的定量分析有助于更好地理解激素治疗的预后情况。在出现淋巴结受累的情况下，雌激素受体阴性肿瘤需进行辅助化疗。对于雌激素受体呈阳性的患者，建议最终采用激素治疗并联合化疗。使用抗雌激素药物治疗后可获得类似结果，不过副作用出现的频率较低。
