[Current approaches to hormonal therapy of breast cancer in men]

The content of steroid hormone receptors was measured in 22 men with mammary gland carcinoma. The content of estrogen receptors appeared high in both primary tumor and cancer metastasis. It was not dependent on the process extent or patients' age. In some cases the tumor remained "receptor-positive" after preoperative treatment. The data obtained indicate a possibility of a sound approach to the hormonal therapy of men with mammary gland carcinoma.
