An analysis of serum estradiol and serum progesterone in postmenopausal women of karachi suffering from breast cancer.
The cancer patients (39) and control (12) were subjected to postmenopausal hormonal evaluation in which serum estradiol and serum progesterone values were found to be 54.56 +/- 10.20 pg/ml as compared to 18.66 +/- 6.31 pg/ml and 0.170 +/- 0.01 ng/ml as compared to 0.229 +/- 0.01 ng/ml respectively. Consequently it was inferred that in cancer postmenopausal patients when serum estradiol level increases the serum progesterone level decrease and vice versa.
