SEXUAL-CHROMATIN AND BREAST TUMORSTHE RELATION BETWEEN SEXUAL-CHROMATIN AND HORMONE DEPENDENCY, AND DIFFERENTIATION OF CARCINOMA OF THE BREAST

摘要

Sexual-chomatin was microscopically counted following experiments during which rats were injected with sexual hormones and also during the examinations of human breast tissue. It was shown that the level of sexual-chromatin in animal tissue was dependent upon the level of estrogen, and that the level of sexual-chromatin of clinical cases responded well to the differentiation of carcinoma of the breast.From these results it is suggested that sexual-chromatin may be a clinical indicator of hormonal application to carcinoma of the breast.Notice: Our counts are significant beyond 0.003 probability of error.
