Understanding how steroids work has led to improved comprehension of such derangements of hormonal regulation as testicular feminization. This knowledge has found practical application in the treatment of hormone-dependent cancers. Gene therapy, albeit still too primitive to correct steroid-response defects, promises to be a future mainstay of management.
对类固醇作用机制的了解，增进了我们对诸如睾丸女性化等激素调节紊乱的认识。这一知识已在激素依赖性癌症的治疗中得到实际应用。基因治疗虽然仍过于原始，无法纠正类固醇反应缺陷，但有望成为未来治疗的主要手段。
