    Abstract:
    The dimensions of breast are genetically determinated and hormones only allow breast (when growth is finished) to reach the definite dimensions. In the development of benign disease of breast, the estro-progestinic lack of balance, for a long period, holds a great importance; while GH, TSH, ACTH, prolactine, and androgens are often favourable elements for the development of the benign disease of breast. It isn't verified how it is due to the hormones activity and how to biometabolic activity of the tissue hormones operate on. Since the opinions about a direct connection between benign disease of breast and Ca. are in contrast, we advise a periodical inspection of breast, and, moreover, the dosage of the receptors for estradiol and 2 OH testosterone; if they are both present, they send to a surgical therpay. Treatment of these patients effected with derivatives of 19-Nor-testosterone and 17-OH-progesteron, must not absolutely base on empiricism but must be documented with hormonal dosages and with dosages of receptors. Failure of this therapy leads to a surgical treatment.
