Abstract:
Excretion of 17-HOCS and estrogens as well as the levels of E-RFC and time-delayed DNCB and tuberculin (PPD) contact sensitization reaction were studied in 136 breast cancer patients. A decrease in immunological response in reproductive and menopausal patients was matched by the development of relative hyperestrogenism and elevation of 17-HOCS excretion in the former group and a rise in 17-HOCS excretion only in the latter.
