    Abstract:
    Turisteron is an orally highly effective depot estrogen (ethinylestradiol sulfonate) with relatively slight side effects. The treatment with Turisteron is very effective and is well tolerated by the patient. A strong antiandrogenic effect could be produced which had as its sequel a significant increase of the survival rates of patients with carcinoma of the prostate gland. The weekly dosage of 2 mg Turisteron led to a decrease of the biologically active, free testosterone to less than 2% compared with the initial value. The decrease of the total testosterone to castration values and the decrease of the free testosterone still significantly below values of castration are evidences for the strong antiandrogenic effect in exclusive estrogen treatment with Turisteron. From this conclusions relevant to practice were derived and finally therapy recommendation for the conservative treatment of the carcinoma of the prostate gland were given.
