Medical Conditions - Progesterone Receptor

Progesterone receptors are types of protein seen inside the cells, which get activated by the progesterone hormone. They are very valuable biomarkers in planning the prognosis of breast cancer. They can predict the treatment outcome, especially in hormone-positive breast cancers. With a high expression of the progesterone receptor, the tumor is considered to have a better prognosis with hormone therapy and more.
