We have described a patient in whom complete regression of pulmonary metastases from renal cell carcinoma (RCC) followed treatment with medroxy-progesterone acetate (Depo-Provera). Although the reported rate of objective response to progesterone therapy in RCC is only 10% to 15%, the occasionally dramatic results, especially in men, warrant a trial of this agent. Other more toxic agents have consistently failed to provide significant responses.
我们描述了一名肾细胞癌(RCC)肺转移患者,其在接受醋酸甲羟孕酮(Depo - Provera)治疗后肺转移灶完全消退。尽管报道的RCC患者对孕酮治疗的客观缓解率仅为10%至15%,但其偶尔出现的显著效果,尤其是在男性患者中,值得对该药物进行试验。其他毒性更强的药物一直未能产生显著疗效。
