Abstract

Long-term results of treatment of colorectal cancer versus levels of 17-ketosteroids, 17-ketogenic steroids, adrenaline and norepinephrine in diurnal urine were evaluated in 116 patients. Normal or slightly elevated urine-corticosteroid and catecholamine levels were shown to correlate with good prognosis, particularly, in cases with normal excretion of all (or almost all) hormones studied and their normal ratios.
