Abstract
The authors review the recent development of methods aimed at characterizing endocrine tumours. With new immunocytochemical methods, not only specific hormonal peptides can be identified but also hormonal precursors and their sites of processing. Immunodensitometry allows to quantify the hormonal cellular load and to assess hormonal synthesis via the precursors. Finally hormonal receptors can be identified by various techniques of autoradiography.
