Ten patients with advanced progressive adenocarcinoma of the prostate were treated with a long acting analogue of gonadotrophin releasing hormone. Eight of these patients responded to treatment in terms of pain relief and clinical regression of tumour. Serum gonadotrophin and testosterone concentrations were significantly suppressed by the end of the second week of treatment, testosterone concentrations being comparable with those achieved by castration. The two patients who failed to respond had both relapsed previously when receiving conventional treatment, and neither showed any endocrine response to the analogue. Superagonists of gonadotrophin releasing hormone may be the treatment of choice in adenocarcinoma of the prostate, but further trials are required to establish long term safety and efficacy.
十名晚期进展性前列腺腺癌患者接受了促性腺激素释放激素长效类似物治疗。其中八名患者在疼痛缓解和肿瘤临床消退方面对治疗有反应。治疗第二周结束时,血清促性腺激素和睾酮浓度被显著抑制,睾酮浓度与去势所达到的浓度相当。两名无反应的患者在接受传统治疗时均曾复发,且对该类似物均未表现出任何内分泌反应。促性腺激素释放激素超级激动剂可能是前列腺腺癌的首选治疗方法,但需要进一步试验以确定其长期安全性和疗效。
