Lymphocyte glucocorticoid receptors in cancer patients.
Glucocorticoid receptor concentration was determined in circulating lymphocytes of patients with benign and malignant tumors. It was not different from control values in case of benign tumors. However, it was increased significantly in case of operable colorectal adenocarcinoma and decreased, sometimes to very low levels, when the tumor (gastric or colorectal adenocarcinoma) was inoperable.
