Seventy-nine patients with an histologically proven disseminated breast cancer, never treated before with additive hormonal therapy, entered into a randomized trial between june 1981 and december 1982. In the first group 44 patients were given continually a daily dose of tamoxifen (TAM) of 20 mg/m2. In the 2nd group 35 patients were given a daily dose of TAM of 20 mg/m2 for 15 days and then an oral daily dose of medroxyprogesterone acetate of 350 mg/m2 for the next 15 days. In both groups I and II, the treatment was stopped at the first manifestation of progression of the disease. The hormonal receptor status was determined in 30 patients of the group I and 23 patients of the group II. An objective response to treatment was observed in 48 per cent of the patients of the group I and 60 per cent of the group II. This difference is not significant (X2 = 1,05). However, the mean duration of therapeutic response is significantly higher in the group II (p = 0,01).

D011956 Receptors, Cell Surface Cell surface proteins that bind signalling molecules external to the cell with high affinity and convert this extracellular event into one or more intracellular signals that alter the behavior of the target cell (From Alberts, Molecular Biology of the Cell, 2nd ed, pp693-5). Cell surface receptors, unlike enzymes, do not chemically alter their ligands.
