  • Title: [The effect of combined radiotherapy on blood levels of ACTH, cortisol and aldosterone in cervical cancer].
    Author: Modnikov OP.
    Journal: Vopr Onkol; 1984; 30(3):37-40. PubMed ID: 6324489.
    Abstract:
    Blood-ACTH, cortisol and aldosterone levels in patients with cancer of the uterine cervix were measured radioimmunologically prior to complex radiotherapy, following a half-dose exposure of tumor focus and immediately on completion of the treatment course. Patients showed a rise in cortisol and aldosterone levels and a slight increase in ACTH. Radiation therapy inhibited production of cortisol and aldosterone matched by a rise in ACTH output.
