Vi. Kulakov et al., STATUS OF THE BREASTS IN PATIENTS WITH THE POSTCASTRATION SYNDROME TREATED BY TRANSPLANTATION OF HUMAN FETAL TISSUE, Bulletin of experimental biology and medicine, 117(4), 1994, pp. 387-389
Clinical and x-ray examinations of the breasts were carried out in 45
women with the postcastration syndrome before and after treatment by h
uman fetal tissue transplantation. the results indicate that a drastic
drop of the steroid hormones level and increased gonadotropin secreti
on occurring in patients with the postcastration syndrome lead to the
intensification of involution proceses no matter what the patient's ag
e. Benign hyperplastic changes in the breasts induced by previous neur
oendocrine gynecological diseases gradually regress. Breast examinatio
ns carried out 6-8 months after transplantation of human fetal tissue
showed no deterioration of any kind. Clinical examinations and intervi
ews of patients showed an improved turgor of breast skin, although mam
mography failed to detect any changes in the volume of the glands.
