title: Presence of oestrogen receptors on target cells and antiproliferative activity of estramustine phosphate: positive correlation for human tumours in vitro.
abstract: Incubation with estramustine phosphate for 24 h inhibited DNA, RNA and protein synthesis in primary cultures of human kidney, mammary, prostatic, cervical and endometrial carcinoma. Not only the presence, but also the concentration of oestrogen receptors correlated with estramustine phosphate effects on tumour cell proliferation.
