(A–E) Kaplan-Meier curves show the association of disease-free survival
with estrogen receptor α (ER) expression (A, high is top 60%
tumors), glucocorticoid receptor (GR) expression (B, high is top 30%
tumors), and the combination (C). Higher ER expression is associated with better
prognosis, whereas higher GR expression is associated with worse outcomes, but
only in the context of high ER expression. ER expression is negatively
correlated with tumor grade (D), and GR expression is positively correlated with
tumor grade (E).
(F) Examples of GR immunohistochemistry staining are shown for grade 1 and grade
3 tumors.
Scale bar represents 100 μm.
