Is the biology of breast cancer changing? A study of hormone receptor status 1984–1986 and 1996–1997

Using archived tumours, those from 1984–1986 and 1996–1997 underwent immunohistochemistry for hormone receptors and grade analysis. A significant shift towards more ER-positive and low-grade disease was found; this appears to reflect screening practices, but could still influence survival.
