Abstract
A test is described for the evaluation of hormone sensitivity of endometrial cancer in vivo. The concentrations of progesterone and estradiol receptors, and the activities of ornithine-decarboxylase and 17 beta-hydroxysteroid oxido-reductase enzymes have been measured in the tumor, before and after administration of the anti-estrogen tamoxifen. The responses observed, in particular the increase of progesterone receptor, could allow a more rational approach to hormonal therapy of endometrial cancer.
