  • Title: [Therapy with gestagens for gynecological tumors sensitive to hormones (author's transl)].
    Author: Weghaupt K.
    Journal: Strahlentherapie; 1979 Oct; 155(10):690-3. PubMed ID: 91247.
    Abstract:
    Our method of irradiation of the endometrial carcinoma is described. The patient collective concerned represents a negative selection, as only inoperable cases with an endometrial carcinoma undergo primary irradiation. The 5-year survival rate amounted to 50.4% of 802 patients in the period from 1950 through 1970. Additional therapy with gestagens is discussed and recommended. The histological alterations in the material obtained by so-called "second-look curettages" are reported. Application of gestagens to other hormonesensitive tumors such as carcinoma of the ovary or adenocarcinoma of the cervix uteri is considered.
