The proto-oncogene, ets-1, is a transcription factor known to control the expression of a number of genes and has been postulated to play a role in cell growth, differentiation and tumour invasion. We examined 137 cases of breast carcinoma by immunohistochemistry and compared the degree of Ets-1 expression among the different histological types of invasive carcinomas. Ets-1 was not expressed in the normal breast epithelium nor in noninvasive carcinomas. Among the 137 breast carcinoma cases, 104 (83.2%) showed positive staining for the Ets-1 protein. Histologically, invasive ductal carcinomas expressed immunopositivity with intense staining for Ets-1 in the tumour cells. Ets-1 expression correlated with Bloom-Richardson grading in invasive ductal carcinoma (p
