  • Title: Palliative treatment with oral Estracyte in disseminated prostatic carcinoma.
    Author: Welvaart K.
    Journal: Arch Chir Neerl; 1975; 27(3):193-8. PubMed ID: 55103.
    Abstract:
    In Roswell Park Memorial Institute, between 1969 and 1974, a total of 32 patients with widespread metastasized carcinoma of the prostate were treated with oral Estracyt. Objectively demonstrable remissions were achieved in eight patients (8/32 equals 25%). Subjective improvement of their general condition was experienced by 15 patients (15/32 equals 47%). The toxicity of Estracyt manifests itself with gastrointestinal disorders, which in most cases are amenable to anti-emetic treatment.
