Effect of age and menopausal status on estimates of oestrogen binding by human malignant breast tumours.
The uptake of oestradiol by human breast-tumour tissue estimated by in-vivo and in-vitro techniques has been examined in relation to patients' ages and menopausal status. Results from in-vivo studies showed no convincing correlations, while in-vitro results were significantly correlated with menopausal status. There was a significant correlation between results obtained by the two techniques.
