ABSTRACT:
A highly statistically significant correlation between ER and GATA-3 expression in breast cancers is demonstrated. Detection of GATA-3 in breast carcinoma samples provides a diagnostic test for a hormone responsive tumor. Screening for pharmacologic agents and molecular targets utilizes the GATA-3 association with breast carcinoma.
