[Estrogen and progesterone receptors in cerebral meningioma and their clinical value]

The contents of receptors of steroid hormones (estrogen and progesterone) in cerebral meningioma was studied up. Comparison between this hormones level and mostly significant clinico-morphological characteristics of meningioma was conducted. High frequency of estrogen and progesterone revealing in the tumor tissue permits to suggest the possibility of their application as a test of her hormonal sensitivity and is important for the disease course prognosis and an adequate methods of treatment choice as well.
