Oestrogen therapy in prostatic cancer

P H Smith, A Akdas

    Scandinavian Journal of Urology and Nephrology. Supplementum
    |January 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary

    Oestrogen therapy is reviewed for prostate cancer management, focusing on drug choice, cost, and patient selection. Further randomized studies are needed to evaluate alternative agents due to difficulties in assessing treatment response.

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Endocrinology

    Background:

    • Prostate cancer management often involves hormone therapy.
    • Oestrogen therapy has been a historical treatment option.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the role of oestrogen therapy in prostate cancer.
    • To discuss drug selection, cost-effectiveness, and patient stratification.
    • To highlight challenges in evaluating treatment efficacy.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of oestrogen therapy in prostate cancer.
    • Analysis of drug choice, patient selection criteria, and cost factors.
    • Discussion of response evaluation methodologies.

    Main Results:

    • Oestrogen therapy presents challenges in patient selection and response assessment.
    • Cost and specific drug choices are critical considerations.
    • Current data is insufficient for definitive conclusions on optimal usage.

    Conclusions:

    • Difficulties in evaluating treatment response necessitate further research.
    • Randomized controlled trials are urgently required to compare alternative agents.
    • Evidence-based guidelines for oestrogen therapy in prostate cancer require enhancement.
