    Abstract: Progesterone (PG) is a steroid hormone that regulates normal reproductive functions including uterine and mammary gland development. The PG receptor belongs to the nuclear receptor superfamily of ligand dependent transcription factors that mediates gene expression, however, it also promotes cell signaling pathways through a non-genomic pathway incl...

    Abstract: Purpose: Soft tissue sarcomas (STS) represent a heterotop group of tumours. Microsatellite instabilities (MSI) and loss of heterozygosity (LOH) as phenomena of a genetic instability should be analysed in STS and correlated with the long-term oncologic outcome. Methods: Patients treated for a STS with a follow-up of at least 10 years were included. ... Show More
