The expression of oestrogen receptor protein (ER) was examined in 151 cases of symptomatic or screening detected pure ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) of the breast by immunocytochemical assay (ERICA), in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue, with the monoclonal antibody H 222 (Abbott). Forty-eight tumours (31.8%) of cases were ER positive. Twenty-seven (17.9%) of cases showed high level ER expression and 21 (13.9%) of cases showed low level ER immunoreactivity. Significant associations of positive tumour ER immunoreactivity and non-comedo architecture chi2 = 6.76; (d.f. = 1): P < 0.001, small cell size chi2 = 4.49; (d.f. = 1): P = 0.034, higher S-phase fraction chi2 = 4.71; (d.f. = 1): P = 0.03 and lack of c-erbB-2 protein overexpression chi2 = 7.96; (d.f. = 1): P
