Two cases of metastatic malignant carcinoid tumor in elderly women contained significant amounts of estrogen receptor (19 and 32 femtomoledmg protein) as shown by Scatchard-plot analysis of a dextran-coated charcoal assay, inhibition of binding by an estrogen analog (67 and 63%) and highaffinity bin
