[Value of estradiol, progesterone and cortisol binding globulin (CGB) in patients with laryngeal cancer].
The unique feature of larynx cancer epidemiology is great discrepance between men and women morbidity. This difference may be explained not only by exposition to environmental factors but also to endogenous one, i.e. sex hormone levels. In 67 patients operated for larynx cancer there were simultaneously estimated the value of estradiol (E2), progesterone (Pg) and cortisol binding globulin (CBG) in blood serum. The radioimmunological assay (RIA) with specific antibodies and antigens signed by J125 was used. Value of hormones and binding globulin were examined by Spectria sets by Orion Diagnostica. The high value of estradiol and CBG in blood serum was observed. In meaningful number of patients we noted normal value of progesterone.
