[Glucuronic acid, glucuronyltransferase and estrogens in breast cancer and precancer].
The glucuronic acid level in the serum and urine, the diural excretion of estrogens and 17-KS with the urine, the activity of glucuronyltransferase are reported in 101 patients with benign and malignant tumors and in 22 healthy females. The decrease in the activity of glucurolytransferase and increase in the percentage of free (nonconjugated) estrogens in patients with malignant tumors of the mammary gland are noted, the analogous results were obtained in patients with benign tumors, but these are statistically insignificant. The decrease of the glucuronyltransferase activity is suggested to result in the development of relative hyperestrogen in normal total excretion.
