Shaheed Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto Medical University Researcher Highlights Research in Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma (Immunohistochemical expression of estrogen receptor-b in adenoid cystic carcinoma of salivary gland - A descriptive study).

Researchers at Shaheed Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto Medical University conducted a study on the immunohistochemical expression of estrogen receptor-b (ERb) in adenoid cystic carcinoma of the salivary gland. The study found that 86.7% of cases showed positivity for ERb expression, suggesting a potential for hormone therapy using selective ER modulators. The research did not find a statistically significant association between gender, tumor site, histological type of adenoid cystic carcinoma, and ERb expression. This study provides valuable insights into the role of estrogen receptors in salivary gland cancers. [Extracted from the article]
