  • Title: [The treatment of metastasizing hypernephroid (renal cell) carcinoma with medroxyprogesterone acetate (Clinovir) (author's transl].
    Author: von Lieven H, Hahn D.
    Journal: MMW Munch Med Wochenschr; 1977 Aug 26; 119(34):1089-92. PubMed ID: 408657.
    Abstract:
    15 patients with distant metastases of hypernephroid carcinoma were treated with medroxyprogesterone acetate (usually 300 mg daily by mouth). In 5 patients the metastases showed slower growth, remained stationary or regressed somewhat under this treatment. But a complete regression of metastases could not be obtained. The treatment was very well tolerated. Monitoring the transaminases and alkaline phosphatase during treatment is to be recommended.
