Urinary aetiocholanolone in patients with early breast cancer from South East Scotland and South Wales.

Urinary aetiocholanolone levels have been measured in 417 women aged between 20 and 70 years. The women were drawn from South East Scotland and South Wales and consisted of patients with either benign or malignant disease of the breast and control patients suffering from no detectable breast disorder. The pattern of aetiocholanolone excretion with respect to age and menopausal status has been defined in each group of patients. No significant differences in urinary levels have been detected between patients with breast disease, whether benign or malignant, and control patients. More detailed examination of the 201 women with early cancer of the breast has also shown that there is no consistent correlation between pre-operative aetiocholanolone levels and factors of prognostic significance detectable at the time of primary treatment-tumour size, grade, round cell infiltration, histological involvement of nodes by tumour and the clinical palpability of lymph nodes. It would seem, therefore, that the prognostic value of pre-operative aetiocholanolone measurements is somewhat limited in patients with early breast cancer. It is noted, however, that low levels of aetiocholanolone are associated with post-menopausal patients, a group in which the prognosis is generally poorer than that in pre-menopausal women.[1]
