[Hormonal patterns in breast cancers].
Urinary outpout of oestrogens and 17-ketosteroids were estimated in 200 women with breast cancer; 60 of them were cases with rapid evolution (malignant evolutive push). The majority of cases analysed had abnormal hormonal levels, especially of oestrogens. The average oestrogenic levels are higher than the normal values; the highest values correspond to the most severe and rapidly evolutive type of breast cancer, the inflammatory breast carcinoma. In the patients without evolutive push, the proportion of cases with absolute or relative hypooestrogeny is approximately equal toor exceeds the proportion of hyperoestrogenic cases. In the presence of the evolutive push and especially of his most severe type, inflammatory carcinoma, the cases with hyperoestrogeny, both absolute and relative, by hypoandrogeny, are dominant. The proportion of cases with higher 17-ketosteroid urinary outputs than the normal mean is greater in the patients without evolutive push, while in those with evolutive push, the majority of cases have lower values of 17-ketosteroids than the normal mean.
