This volume is an outgrowth of a symposium held at the University
of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan, October 27-29, 1975. This
symposium was organized to bring together basic scientists and
clinicians for the purpose of exchanging new ideas and the latest
information in the area of Steroid Hormone Action and Cancer. The
design of the symposium included both formal plenary sessions and
informal roundtable discussion groups, the chapters of this volume
being drawn primarily from these proceedings. During the last
quarter of a century considerable progress has been made toward
understanding the molecular mechanisms in volved in steroid hormone
action. It now appears that the mechan sim of action of the four
major classes of steroid hormones is qualitatively similar.
Research during the past decade has demonstrated steroid hormone
receptors in a variety of normal and neoplastic tissues.
Receptor-containing neoplasms have been shown to be
hormone-dependent and undergo regression when treated with hormone
antagonists. Natural and synthetic steroids also have been employed
for many years to successfully treat various types of cancer, for
example: estrogens, androgens and progestagens for breast cancer;
estrogens and progestagens for prostatic carcinoma; progestagens
for endometrial carcinoma; and corticoids for leu kemias. All of
these neoplasms have now been found to possess receptors for the
steroids empirically used in their treatment."
