| Abstract: | The dihydropteridine-reductase activity was measured in 206 breast cancers. Large variations were found: 6% of tumors showing high values closed to those noted in liver, whereas the main group has activities of same magnitude of that in cultured fibroblasts. Significant correlation appeared between dihydropteridine-reductase activities and hormonal dependence, as measured by cytosolic estrogen receptor sites. |
