title: Sex hormone receptors in localized and advanced transitional cell carcinoma of urinary tract in humans.
abstract: Sex hormone receptors were identified in patients with localized and advanced transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder and kidney. Dihydrotestosterone and testosterone receptors were found most consistently in the specimens analyzed. Estrogen receptors were found less frequently. Androgen receptors in transitional cell carcinoma may prove to be a useful biologic marker in this disease.
