How steroid hormones work.

Abstract	Understanding how steroids work has led to improved comprehension of such derangements of hormonal regulation as testicular feminization. This knowledge has found practical application in the treatment of hormone-dependent cancers. Gene therapy, albeit still too primitive to correct steroid-response defects, promises to be a future mainstay of management.
