Abstract
A test of the concept of chemical suppression
of ovarian function by cytotoxic drugs previously
reported (Anderson et al., 1978, Br. J.
Cancer, 37, 477) revealed no supportive evidence
from follicular and luteal-phase measurements
of plasma oestradiol (E2) in 6 premenopausal
women prescribed repeated 5-day courses of
melphalan after mastectomy for cancer. To
circumvent the difficulties of frequent repeated
blood sampling, 3 of these patients were studied
in greater depth.
