Article Synopsis
- * A study analyzed a large tissue microarray and found AR positivity in 116 tumor types, with very high positivity rates in testicular tumors and prostate cancer, but varying degrees in other types like breast and kidney cancers.
- * Low AR expression was linked to more advanced stages and poorer outcomes in certain cancers like urothelial carcinoma and invasive breast carcinoma, suggesting that AR immunohistochemistry may have limited uses for tumor identification but could be significant in treatment strategies for some cancers.
Progesterone receptor (PR) is a member of the nuclear/steroid hormone receptor family of ligand-dependent transcription factors. It plays an important role in reproduction and mammary gland development and has various tissue-specific effects in nonreproductive organs. In diagnostic pathology, positive PR immunostaining is used to support a diagnosis of breast or gynecologic origin in a tumor.
