For many years, Springer has been publishing an impressive series
of textbooks of pharmacology which have set standards in medical
science. Surprisingly, an extensive overview of the current state
of the art in research on estrogens and anti estrogens was still
lacking. The present two volumes on estrogens and antiestrogens
provide a comprehensive review of a field of research in which
remarkable progress has been made over the past few years. New
insights into the mechanisms of steroid hormone action resulted in
a tremendous number of publications from which new principles of
preventive and therapeutic appli cations of estrogens and
antiestrogens emerged. Although various electronic data bases
provide easy access to this copious information, there was a clear
necessity for a monograph-style textbook which assesses and
summarizes current knowledge in this rapidly expanding field of
research. It should be noted, however, that, due to this dynamic
development, it is barely possible to comprehensively update every
aspect of basic and clinical knowledge on estro gens and
antiestrogens. Thus, the intention of the editors was to provide
the reader with an overview of the "classic" and most recently
explored areas of research and stimulate future interests in basic
and applied endocrinology. Estrogens were among the first steroid
hormones described in the scientific literature. Since they were
first isolated, since the chemical, synthesic and pharmacological
characterization of naturally occurring estrogens and, later on, of
orally active derivatives, estrogen research has produced continu
ously hallmark results in reproductive endocrinology worldwide.
