Tumor-associated trypsin inhibitor (TATI) is a 6-kDa peptide, which is identical to the pancreatic-secretory-trypsin inhibitor (PSTI). TATI is produced by several tumors and cancer cell lines, and is used as a serum marker for mucinous ovarian cancer. Elevated serum levels of TATI have also been obs

Abstract
Progesterone receptor was measured in eight samples of renal cell carcinoma, nine samples of normal renal tissue, and one sample of melanoma tissue. Progesterone receptor was identified in all samples, with the exception of one renal cell carcinoma. Three patients, all with receptorβpositive tumors, were treated with medroxyprogesterone acetate for metastatic disease. In one of these patients there was a partial objective response to treatment. Further research regarding progesterone receptor in renal cell carcinoma is indicated.

A review of the role of steroid hormone receptors and hormonal dependence of renal cell carcinoma in certain patients is presented. The results of a cumulative series of estrogen, progesterone, and androgen receptor assays performed on 48 normal and malignant human renal tumor specimens are given. T
## Abstract Numerous peptide receptors are overexpressed in human cancer, permitting __in vivo__ tumor targeting. Among such receptors, those for the neurotransmitter neuropeptide Y (NPY) are overexpressed in various tumors. Since NPY can play a role in the kidney, NPY receptor expression and/or en
