Serum oestradiol-17 beta in women with benign and malignant breast disease. 1974

P C England, and L G Skinner, and K M Cottrell, and R A Sellwood

Serum concentrations of oestradiol-17β were measured daily throughout one menstrual cycle in 32 normal women, 31 women with benign disease of the breast and 10 with cancer of the breast. The concentrations were found to differ significantly from normal in women with cysts and to a lesser extent in those with cancer of the breast. In 25 normal post-menopausal and in 27 post-menopausal women with cancer repeated assays disclosed consistently low levels of oestradiol-17β.

D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D011863 Radioimmunoassay Classic quantitative assay for detection of antigen-antibody reactions using a radioactively labeled substance (radioligand) either directly or indirectly to measure the binding of the unlabeled substance to a specific antibody or other receptor system. Non-immunogenic substances (e.g., haptens) can be measured if coupled to larger carrier proteins (e.g., bovine gamma-globulin or human serum albumin) capable of inducing antibody formation.
