Abstract

Aim: Estrogen Receptors (ER) and Progesterone Receptors (PR) are known to play a role in breast cancer as both predictive and prognostic markers. However, the influence of Androgen Receptors (AR), a member of the steroid receptor family, remains controversial. In this study, we aimed to determine the relationship between Androgen Receptors (AR) expression and the prognostic factors of breast cancer.
