“…4). S'il est permis de transposer ces connaissances physiologiques à l'évolution du cancer du sein, on est tenté d'admettre que c'est l'abaissement du taux de la somatotropine et de la prolactine qui est responsable de l'arrêt temporaire d'un carcinome mammaire invasif [9,10]. A notre connaissance, aucun travail n'existe encore qui prouve d'une manière satisfaisante l'existence d'une corrélation nette entre l'effet thérapeutique de l'hypophysectomie et la diminution du taux de la somatotropine ou de la prolactine.…”

“…Injections of ovine prolactin into normal subjects and certain patients increases the urinary excretion of calcium (McCalister & Welbourn, 1962;Beck, Gonda, Hamid, Morgen, Rubinstein & McGarry, 1964) and hypercalcaemia as well as hypercalcinuria is produced after administration of prolactin to experimental animals (Mahajan, Robinson & Horrobin, 1974). The levels of calcium in the serum and urine of patients with hyperprolactinaemia have therefore been studied.…”

Sub-department ofEndocrine Pathology, Alder Hey Hospital, Eaton Road, Liverpool, LI2 2AP (Received 12 September 1977) Injections of ovine prolactin into normal subjects and certain patients increases the urinary excretion of calcium (McCalister & Welbourn, 1962; Beck, Gonda, Hamid, Morgen, Rubinstein & McGarry, 1964) and hypercalcaemia as well as hypercalcinuria is produced after administration of prolactin to experimental animals (Mahajan, Robinson & Horrobin, 1974). The levels of calcium in the serum and urine of patients with hyperprolactinaemia have therefore been studied. Fourteen patients (one man, 13 women) were selected on the basis of raised levels of prolactin in the plasma. Clinical details are shown in Table 1. None of the patients had primary hypothyroidism and none was taking drugs except the man (S.B.), who was on cortisone and thyroxine replacement therapy. During the study, patients had their normal diet either at home or in hospital. Plasma prolactin was estimated by radioimmunoassay
