A systematic review and meta-analysis of hormone receptor expression in low-grade serous ovarian carcinoma

Serous ovarian carcinoma is the most common histological type of ovarian cancer, with high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC) being more common than low-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (LGSOC). Despite pathogenic and clinical differences, both grades of serous ovarian carcinoma share the propensity to express receptors for the female hormones – oestrogen (ERs) and progesterone receptors (PRs) – albeit in differing frequencies.
