[Relationship between estrogen, progesterone, total testosterone, androstenedione, and epidural growth factor in blood and breast cyst fluid].
In breast cyst fluid obtained from 50 patients age (47.1 +/- 2.3) sodium, potassium, oestrone (E1), oestradiol (E2) androgens, progesterone, (P) and Epidermal Growth Factor--EGF were determined. Markedly higher oestrogens, progesterone, testosterone, and EGF-levels were detected in cyst fluid than in blood. These data have confirmed previous results and have clearly shown that breast cyst fluid with high potassium (ratio K/Na > 1.0) contains more oestrogens, progesterone, testosterone, androstenedione and EGF than the group with low electrolyte ratio. This finding might be put in correlation with the fact that patients with high ratio K/Na may a higher risk of breast cancer than those with low electrolyte ratio.
