Aminoglutethimide has been used in combination with hydrocortisone in patients with advanced prostatic cancer with the rationale that it causes a 'medical adrenalectomy'. Both objective and subjective responses have been recorded. We have examined the effect of AG and HC alone and in combination on plasma androgen levels throughout the day in two studies on 11 such patients. Whilst AG combined with HC led to a significant suppression of both testosterone and androstenedione levels, the suppression with HC alone was significantly greater, indicating that any beneficial clinical effects of AG in these patients is not due to its suppression of adrenal androgen secretion.
氨鲁米特已与氢化可的松联合用于晚期前列腺癌患者,其理论依据是它会导致“药物性肾上腺切除术”。已记录到客观和主观反应。我们在两项针对11例此类患者的研究中,考察了氨鲁米特(AG)和氢化可的松(HC)单独及联合使用对全天血浆雄激素水平的影响。虽然AG与HC联合使用导致睾酮和雄烯二酮水平显著降低,但单独使用HC时的降低幅度明显更大,这表明AG对这些患者的任何有益临床效果并非源于其对肾上腺雄激素分泌的抑制作用。
