UNASSIGNED: From the available literature, it is unclear what proportion of pancreatic @entity420 express @entity172 receptors ( @entity7971 , @entity1783 ), @entity1420 receptors (PR), and @entity342 receptors (AR), and if any of these markers have prognostic significance. We aimed to assess (1) the expression and (2) the correlation of the aforementioned markers with clinicopathological parameters and prognosis in @entity1 with @entity788 . During a five-year period, 60 @entity1 with @entity1124 underwent surgical resection at a single institution. Immunohistochemical stains of the studied markers were quantified by Image analysis system. @entity7971 expression was positively associated with PR expression. Moreover, @entity1783 was inversely associated with the presence of metastases, whereas no significant associations implicated AR. As far as the prognostic significance of the studied receptors is concerned, higher @entity7971 expression correlated with poorer survival at the univariate analysis, but the finding dissipated at the multivariate approach. No significant associations with overall survival were noted regarding the other receptors. The role of sex hormone receptors in the survival from @entity788 seems rather limited. Further prospective studies assessing those receptors should ideally be designed in order to confirm our results and possibly outline additional correlations between other @entity479 receptors and features of @entity788 .
