102 patients with disseminated breast cancer entered this retrospective study. An estrogen receptor (ER) assay was realized in 91 patients and a progesterone receptor (PgR) assay in 90 cases; 44 per cent of the patients were considered as ER+ and 29 per cent as PgR+; 56 per cent were considered as ER- PgR-. The objective response rate to cytotoxic chemotherapy after 4 months of treatment was 66 per cent for ER-, 73 per cent for ER+, 67 per cent for PgR- and 74 per cent for PgR+. However, the mean duration of response was significantly shorter for ER- patients, and no difference appeared between PgR+ and PgR- patients. The acturial survival curves demonstrated a favorable prognostic significance of ER+ as compared to ER- p = 0,03), but the difference was slightly more significant for PgR+ as compared to PgR- (p = 0,008). The prognostic significance of PgR in patients with advanced breast cancer treated with cytotoxic chemotherapy does not appear to be related to the sensitivity to this treatment.
