Abstract:
The development of progestogens from the thirties till now and their main clinical uses are considered. Progestogens play an essential role not only in the treatment of dysfunctional uterine bleeding and endometrial carcinoma, but also in oral contraception and in hormone replacement therapy for menopausal women. In the last two cases the attention is focused on the relationship between the use of progestogens and the risk of mammary carcinoma.
