A method and a test kit for rapidly determining the presence of functional cellular steroid receptors by assaying a tissue sample for nuclear steroid or antisteroid binding is disclosed which comprises treating the tissue with collagenase, incubating the isolated cells with a labelled steroid or a labelled antisteroid capable of complexing said receptors and measuring the bound nuclear radioactivity and the DNA of the isolated cellular nuclei.
