Endocrinologic examination of 320 male patients with primary osteogenic sarcoma reveals predominance of hyperandrogenemia characterized by decreased levels of sex hormonebinding globulin, elevated testosterone concentration, and increased free androgen index. The occurrence of androgen receptors was similar in the cytosolic fraction of osteogenic sarcoma (56%), benign tumors and tumor-like bone lesions (50%), while their content was higher in osteogenic sarcoma, implying an unfavorable prognosis of metastasizing.
