[Definition] Breast cancer cells can have a high number of estrogen and/or progesterone receptors. If your cells have a higher rate of estrogen receptors it is considered ER positive, while progesterone receptors would be PR positive. If the receptors are low in number, the cancer is considered ER or PR negative. This is an indication to your doctor which therapies will be more effective. [Term]
