Abstract

Hormonal imbalance is now considered to be one of the causative factors of genital tumours. Hormone content in blood and its efficacy are determined by the functional state of not only the endocrine gland, but also the liver. The liver is involved in the binding of hormones to proteins; blood plasma, in the biological inactivation of steroid hormones by forming ester compounds of these hormones with sulfuric and glucuronic acids. It is also assumed that the liver possesses antitumour inhibitors, whose activity is reduced when the functional status of the organ is weakened.
