Abstract
Unequivocal evidence is presented for the synthesis of œstradiol-17β from an androgen precursor by a human breast carcinoma.

Plasma DS levels were suppressed up to 21% of the control values after administration of dexamethasone, 2 mg daily for 3 days, and chronic treatment with prednisolone lowered plasma DS levels to near zero values.

Prolactin activity, measured by a highly sensitive and specific assay procedure in the serums of 15 patients subjected to surgical section of the pituitary stalk for metastatic breast cancer or for diabetic retinopathy, was undetectable before operation and showed marked elevations after operation, providing further evidence for the existence of a molecular species of human prolactin distinct from the growth-hormone molecule.

An assay is described for measuring the concentration of specific, high-affinity oestradiol receptors in the cell supernatant fraction of breast tumour biopsies and the proportion of positive results and the range of concentrations were found to be somewhat higher in postmenopausal than in premenopausal patients.

The DMBA-induced rat tumour may prove to be a valuable experimental model for human carcinoma tissue with regard to further steroidogenic studies and to indicate that some rat adenocarcinomata can convert androgen precursors into estradiol-17β.

In hypophysectomized rats dihydrotestosterone failed to inhibit the growth of a mammary fibroadenoma with unusually low hormonal dependence as determined by functional tests of its growth.

The evidence which is presented proves that the mammary fibroadenoma tested had some of the functional properties of a normal mammary gland, and neoplastic traits as well, and in its response to hormones it had characteristics which set it apart from all other endocrine targets of the rat.

Evidence for the conversion of dehydroepiandrosterone through testosterone to 5α-dihydrotestosterone has been sought in three breast cancers, two Fibroadenomas, one specimen of fibroadenosis, and six specimens of normal breast tissue from the same patients.

In-vitro studies of breast-cancer tissues from a hundred and thirty patients demonstrated testosterone dependence in fourteen women, of whom thirteen were postmenopausal, and adrenalectomy may be the best treatment of testosterone-dependent breast cancer.

Serum concentrations of oestradiol-17β were measured by radio-immunoassay during 40 menstrual cycles from 38 normal premenopausal women and women in the fourth decade of life had significantly higher concentrations than either younger or older women.
