プロゲステロン療法の臨床例(第2報) 長期使用における効果

Abstract

At the former symposium we presented our clinical experience with SH-582 which had been used in patients with prostatic hypertrophy and carcinoma over a period of 3 months together with histological findings in a small number of animals. At this symposium we are going to present clinical experience in another 17 patients who were treated for about 6 months, and the therapeutic effects in them are compared with those in the previous treatment. Estimation of therapeutic effects was, as in the previous treatment, based on changes in subjective symptoms and residual urine volume, palpation, cystography, and biopsy of the prostate and testis. The therapeutic effect of the prolonged treatment with SH-582 was considered to be very good in 30%, and good in 35% of the treated patients.
