Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the controversial existence of the ER-/PgR+ phenotype in breast cancer by re-evaluating 135 cases from multiple institutions using various validated antibodies.
- Out of the cancer cases, 76 retained the ER-/PgR+ status, while others were re-categorized as ER+ or double-negatives, with no significant survival differences within the HER2+ group.
- In the HER2- cohort, confirmed ER-/PgR+ tumors and others with inconsistent ER results showed poorer overall survival, with high PgR expression identified as a negative prognostic factor.
Hypovitaminosis D is associated with sexual dysfunction in apparently healthy women and with erectile dysfunction in men with the presence of concomitant disorders. This study was aimed at investigating sexual functioning and depressive symptoms in young men with low vitamin D status. The study included 15 apparently healthy men (18-40 years old) with vitamin D deficiency (group A), 16 subjects with vitamin D insufficiency (group B), and 16 men with normal vitamin D status (group C).
