| progesterone receptor test | term type: main entry term part of speech: noun reliability code: 10 number: singular definition: hormone test done during the biopsy of cancerous breast tissue to determine whether progesterone receptors are present. Their presence indicates that the tumor is dependent on the hormone progesterone. Women with a positive progesterone receptor level may benefit from hormone therapy. Women who have both estrogen and progesterone receptors have a better prognosis (they have an 80% chance of responding to hormone therapy). (en) |
