A study was undertaken to determine whether patients with carcinoma of the cervix have abnormal urinary hormonal excretion patterns. Determinations were obtained in 249 women with various stages of carcinoma of the cervix during a period of 3 years. A decrease in urinary creatinine and 17-ketosteroids was noted in patients with advancing stages of the disease. A decrease in excretion of gonad-stimulating hormone was observed, greater than that to be expected for the ages of the patients.
