dehydroepiandrosterone and Cystadenocarcinoma

dehydroepiandrosterone has been researched along with Cystadenocarcinoma in 2 studies

Dehydroepiandrosterone: A major C19 steroid produced by the ADRENAL CORTEX. It is also produced in small quantities in the TESTIS and the OVARY. Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) can be converted to TESTOSTERONE; ANDROSTENEDIONE; ESTRADIOL; and ESTRONE. Most of DHEA is sulfated (DEHYDROEPIANDROSTERONE SULFATE) before secretion.
dehydroepiandrosterone : An androstanoid that is androst-5-ene substituted by a beta-hydroxy group at position 3 and an oxo group at position 17. It is a naturally occurring steroid hormone produced by the adrenal glands.

Cystadenocarcinoma: A malignant neoplasm derived from glandular epithelium, in which cystic accumulations of retained secretions are formed. The neoplastic cells manifest varying degrees of anaplasia and invasiveness, and local extension and metastases occur. Cystadenocarcinomas develop frequently in the ovaries, where pseudomucinous and serous types are recognized. (Stedman, 25th ed)

Research Excerpts

"Estrone sulfate was more efficient as a substrate than dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, since the amount of product formed from estrone sulfate was approximately 3-fold greater than that formed from dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate."1.27In situ steroid sulfatase activity in human epithelial carcinoma cells of vaginal, ovarian, and endometrial origin.
