  • Title: Paraparesis due to metastatic prostatic cancer effectively treated with a high dose of diethylstilbestrol diphosphate: a case report.
    Author: Wakisaka M, Takagishi H.
    Journal: Hinyokika Kiyo; 1993 Nov; 39(11):1055-8. PubMed ID: 8266876.
    Abstract:
    A case of paraparesis due to thoracic vertebula metastasis of prostate cancer is reported. Treatment through a high dose of diethylstilbestrol diphosphate (DES-P) was very effective. Two and a half years later, the patient is ambulatory and relapse has not occurred. We recommend the use of a high dose of DES-P for spinal cord compression due to prostate cancer, instead of laminectomy or radiation.
