Primary breast carcinomas (159 patients) were examined histologically with regard to grade of anaplasia, cellularity, amount of elastic tissue and whether they were of ductal or lobular origin. Possible correlations between these variables and the estrogen receptor (ER)-content [a measure of response to endocrine therapy] were investigated. There was a marked tendency toward a greater number of ER-positive tumors in the group rich in elastosis. A significant correlation between the ER-content and the histological grade was found, whereas there was no correlation between either the ER-content or the grade of anaplasia and the cellularity. Furthermore, the group of tumors that were lobular in derivation had a significantly greater number of ER-positive tumors than the group ductally derived.
