title: Development of laboratory hormone tests and their application in the monitoring of cancer patients.
abstract: In the endocrinologic study of dysplastic and neoplastic pathologies of hormone-dependent organs we propose the determination not only of the plasma levels of the "total" hormone but also those of the free hormone as well as the plasma/hormone binding capacity and the kinetics of the plasma/steroid interaction.
