Levels of principal 17-ketosteroid fractions in urine of breast cancer patients with or without malignant evolutive push.
The main fractions of 17-ketosteroids were estimated in 102 women with breast cancer. Sixty two patients were cases with rapid evolution (malignant evolutive push) or very rapid evolution (inflammatory breast carcinoma). The mean ethiocholanolone levels and partially androsterone levels were significantly decreased in patients with rapid evolution in comparison with the corresponding values found in patients with breast cancer of slow growth.
