(3) Ninety-four specimens were studied by ERA and ERICA; in eight patients in whom tissue was insufficient for ERA, ERICA alone was performed.
(4) In a further 6 of 10 (60%) cases the cyto-ERICA result obtained from recurrent samples qualitatively agreed with that determined by DCC on a previous recurrent lesion.
(5) In order to evaluate the validity of the immunohistochemical (ERICA) method in a routine detection of ER, we have tested the method in a multicenter investigation.
(6) A comparison of staining of aspirates was also made against frozen tissue sections stained with the monoclonal antibody (tissue-ERICA).
(7) Colloid carcinomas were most likely to be ERICA positive and PgRICA positive whereas medullary carcinomas were most often negative.
(8) We found an overall agreement of 80% between the two methods characterized by a high sensitivity (95%) and a low specificity of ERICA versus DCC.
(9) Various modifications to IGSS showed that an immunogold streptavidin enhancement method (IG-SAM) produced sensitivity and specificity equal to that of ERICA.
(10) The ERICA-assay may, therefore, be a relevant alternative to the DCC-assay.
(11) "Receptogram Analysis" has been developed as a pattern-oriented approach for predicting endocrine response in breast cancer based upon quantification of the estrogen receptor immunocytochemical assay (ERICA), using a Quantimet Imaging System.
(12) Data from official mortality records are supported by information on incidence, mortality and risk factor distribution derived from population studies like the Seven Countries Study, the Erica and the Monica Project.
(13) This technique has been evaluated by comparison with conventional immunohistochemistry on frozen sections for 100 surgical biopsy specimens of breast carcinoma Erica (C) Prica (C); in 77 of these cases it was compared with enzyme immunoassay analyses (ER-EIA, PR-EIA).
(14) The use of monoclonal antibody ERICA is known as a method of detecting the estrogen receptor in the immuno-histological chemistry method.
(15) Estrogen receptor (ER) status is an accepted prognostic indicator for breast cancer when measured by either the biochemical or immunohistochemical (ERICA) methods.
