Estrogen and progesterone receptors have been measured in 13 intracranial tumors (eight meningiomas, two acoustic neurinomas, one primary tumor of neuroectodermal origin, one giant-celled glioblastoma, and one metastasis of carcinoma). Evidence is provided of the presence of progesterone receptors in meningiomas (87.5%). We could not find clear evidence of estrogen receptors in any tumor of this series. Presence of progesterone receptors in meningiomas suggests an explanation for the greater incidence of these tumors in women and their rapid growth during pregnancy.
对13例颅内肿瘤（8例脑膜瘤、2例听神经瘤、1例神经外胚层起源的原发性肿瘤、1例巨细胞胶质母细胞瘤和1例癌转移瘤）进行了雌激素和孕激素受体检测。有证据表明脑膜瘤中存在孕激素受体（87.5%）。在该系列的任何肿瘤中，我们都未发现雌激素受体的明确证据。脑膜瘤中孕激素受体的存在为这些肿瘤在女性中发病率较高及其在孕期快速生长提供了一种解释。
