[The prognostic significance of determining androgen receptors in prostatic cancer].

The role of androgen receptors (ARs) registration in cytosol tumor fraction has been investigated in 86 new cases of prostatic cancer. The frequency of occurrence and mean ARs levels in the tumor were found dependent on the disease stage and tumor differentiation. Well-differentiated against moderately and poorly differentiated prostatic cancers contain ARs in 73% and 39% of cases, respectively, in concentrations 10-100 fmol/mg protein and 100 fmol/mg protein, respectively.
