Recent pre-clinical studies indicate that activated progesterone receptor (PR) (particularly the PR-B isoform) binds to oestrogen receptor-α (ER) and reprograms transcription toward better breast cancer outcomes. We investigated whether ER and PR interactions were present in breast and endometrial tumours and associated with clinical parameters including response to endocrine treatments. We developed a proximity ligation assay to detect ER and PR interactions in formalin-...
