Estrogen and progesterone receptors in meningiomas and gliomas
Abstract
Tumor biopsy specimens from 15 patients with meningiomas and 15 patients with malignant gliomas were examined for estrogen and progesterone receptors. The frequency of receptor positivity is presented and results discussed along with the relevant literature.
