| summary |
Colorectal carcinoma (CRC) has been an important public health problem. It stands at the top of oncologic pathology and it is the third most common cancer diagnosed in men and women in the world. Previous researchers found that the risk of developing CRC is slightly lower in women than in men. This suggested that the hormone estrogen plays a role in the development of CRC. Estrogen receptor beta (ERβ) is the predominant estrogen receptor (ER) in human colon. Therefore, it is reasonable to study ERβ status and the physiological significance of these ERβs in colorectal cancer. The objective of this study was to determine the expression of ERβ) in CRC patients and its relationship with the age and gender. ERβ expression in CRC was investigated by immunohistochemical staining of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue sections from 10 CRCs patients. The association between ERβ expression with the age and gender was evaluated by using Pearson’s Chi Square Test.
