  • Title: [Characteristics of urinary steroid excretions in ovarian cancer patients].
    Author: Kodama M, Kodama T, Totani R, Suzuoki Y.
    Journal: Gan No Rinsho; 1984 May; 30(5):501-4. PubMed ID: 6727050.
    Abstract:
    We performed a case-control study to investigate the urinary steroid excretions in ovarian cancer patients. The use of gas-liquid chromatography permitted the estimation of 14 urinary steroids. Data on 139 urine specimens from 36 cancer patients were compared with those on age-matched controls. A general depression of adreno-corticosteroid excretions was consistently observed in the cancer patients as compared with the control women. The possible role of observed steroidal disorders in the genesis of ovarian neoplasia is discussed in light of the epidemiological and biological aspects of this tumor.
