  • Title: Dramatic response of pulmonary metastasis from prostatic cancer to LH-RH agonist treatment.
    Author: Heyman J, Leiter E.
    Journal: Mt Sinai J Med; 1989 Mar; 56(2):108-10. PubMed ID: 2501670.
    Abstract:
    A case is presented of an elderly man with stage D2 cancer of the prostate who responded dramatically to hormonal manipulation utilizing LH-RH agonist. This case has three exceptional features: absence of bone metastasis; massive pulmonary metastasis; and rectal ulceration due to prostatic neoplasm. Although any type of hormonal manipulation could have achieved the same results, the use of LH-RH agonist has distinct advantages: minimal side effects and good patient tolerance.
