Background: Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) is metabolized to active androgens and estrogens, which may have a role in the development of endometrial cancer.
Methods: We studied DHEAS conversion to dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) in normal and neoplastic endometrium utilizing gas chromatography-mass spectral (GC-MS) analysis. Endometrial homogenate was incubated with known amounts of DHEAS for 4 h at 37 degrees C.
