The dependence of the anticarcinogenic and antiblastic effect of retinoid on the regime of its inoculation and on the process stage has been established using the 7,12 dimethylbenz(a)anthracene-induced mammary carcinogenesis of rats. The prophylactic administration of retinoid alone and its therapeutic inoculation against a background of hormonal correction resulted in the most expressed effect that was estimated by the elongation of the latent period, incidence and growth rate of tumours, lifespan of treated animals as well as by the distribution of malignant and benign tumours.

The treatment of rats with DMBA-induced mammary tumours with vitamin A and hormones in the cyclic regime increases the lifetime of animals, decreases both the tumour growth rate and increases the degree of their differentiation. The treatment with vitamin A alone and in combination with hormones lowers the level of estradiol and progesterone receptors in the rat mammary tumours. The high frequency of receptor-positive tumours and high level of estradiol and progesterone receptors in them were observed under the influence of hormones alone in the cyclic regime.

Hormones in physiological doses and under cyclic regime were injected to rats with DMBA-induced mammary tumours. It is demonstrated that 17-alpha-hydroxyprogesterone capronate (HPC) alone administered once every 6 days reduces estradiol receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) levels and the frequency of R+ tumours. Under the influence of a successive use of HPC and testosterone (TS) the level of PR and the frequency of PR+ tumours were reduced.
