[Determination of the metabolic clearance and production of estradiol in breast cancer patients at menopause].
A method for the determination of estradiol metabolic clearance rate (MCR) and production rate (PR) in blood, using radioactive isotope dilution techniques, has been described. In a group of 5 normal menopausal females and 10 menopausal patients with disseminated cancer of the breast the values of MCR and PR were not found to differ significantly, but they diminished after oophorectomy.
