A phase II study of UFT, a mixture of futraful and uracil in a rate of 1:4, was performed for prostatic cancer in 5 cooperative institutions. UFT was orally administered at a daily dose of 600 mg (t.i.d.) for 4 weeks. Twenty-two patients treated with UFT were evaluated according to Koyama-Saito's
We have conducted a double-blind comparative study of flutamide and chlormadinone acetate (CMA) on patients with stage C or D prostatic cancer and with no prior experience of hormone therapy. This is believed to be the first such trial entered in the medical literature, fifty-four patients were
Phase 2 study of 5'-DFUR in bladder and prostatic cancer was conducted at 15 collaborative institutions including Okayama University. 5'-DFUR was orally administered to patients at a daily dose of 800-1200 mg for more than 4 weeks. Forty-one patients with bladder cancer and 12 patients with
Both alpha-difluoromethyl ornithine (DFMO) and methylglyoxal bis (guanylhydrazone) (MGBG) inhibit sequential enzymatic reactions in the pathway of polyamine biosynthesis. Since polyamines may be important factors in proliferation of cancer cells and DFMO combined with MGBG has shown synergistic
Androgen deprivation based on hormone manipulation is the treatment of choice in advanced prostatic cancer. The unequivocal role of adrenal androgens in the growth of prostatic cancer after medical or surgical castration requires a new logical approach (complete androgen blockade) in the treatment
Twenty patients with metastatic prostatic cancer were treated on an ambulatory basis with continuous 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) infusion 250-300 mg/M2 per day through a chronic indwelling central venous catheter. All patients had symptomatic, progressive disease despite previous standard therapies.
The effect of local hyperthermia on the prostate using 13.56 MHz radio frequency wave (RF wave) was reported. Firstly, temperature and blood flow of the prostate in normal dogs were measured during local hyperthermia. In most part of the prostate, the temperature reached over 42 degrees C, which was
The phase II study of flutamide, a pure anti-androgen, was performed to estimate the clinical doses on 165 hormone untreated or treated patients with prostatic cancer. The hormone-untreated patients were given orally flutamide of 90, 375, 750 or 1,125 mg/day in three divided doses daily for 12
OBJECTIVE
We compared the effect of 560 mg. estramustine phosphate daily to placebo as a supplement to standard palliative therapy in patients with progressive disease after bilateral orchiectomy as first line therapy for metastatic prostate cancer.
METHODS
In a double-blind multicenter study 131
BACKGROUND
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of administration of the somatostatin analog RC-160 (vapreotide) at the time of relapse in patients with androgen independent prostate cancer.
METHODS
Our study included 13 patients with biopsy-proven prostate cancer, stage D3. Eight
Phase II study of cis-diaminedichloroplatinum(II) (CIS-DDP) administered intravenously was performed in 77 patients with urologic malignancies for the evaluation of clinical responses and adverse effects. The eligibility of the patients and evaluation of response were carried out according to the
Little is known about the efficacy of flutamide monotherapy in previously untreated patients with prostatic carcinoma. In this study, 40 patients with advanced disease were treated with 250 mg flutamide, three times daily. The mean follow-up was 7 months. After 3 months, 35 patients were evaluable
Treatment of advanced prostatic cancer is currently based on hormonal manipulation. In 1982 Labrié supported a new concept of hormonal treatment based on complete androgen blockade. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of total androgen suppression, achieved by the combination of
This article provides a summary of the pharmacodynamic properties of major antiandrogens as well as an extensive review of their tolerability. Presently there are two classes of androgen receptor antagonists: the so-called pure, non-steroidal antiandrogens which include flutamide, nilutamide and the
Estramustine phosphate, an anti-prostatic cancer agent, was investigated on eleven patients to evaluate the efficacy in a treatment of advanced breast cancers. The daily dose of medication was 840 mg. According to criteria of Japan Society for Cancer Therapy, none was assessed as CR, three as PR,
