title: [Hormone receptors in breast cancer].
abstract: Following a review of studies on the presence of hormonal receptors in breast carcinoma, reference is made to personal experience with hormone treatment of 96 patients with breast cancer. On the basis of data obtained in clinical practice, it is concluded that in order to apply target hormone treatment, it is essential to carry out a full study of hormone receptors, not just as regards oestradiol, progesterone and prolactin but the others too (testosterone, glycocorticoids, insulin, thyroid and growth hormone).
