Abstract: | A new orally active anti-estrogenic steroid, 2,3-epithio-5-androstan-17ß-yl1-methoxycyclopentyl ether (10364-S) was given to 41 advancedbreast cancer patients. Most patients were given a daily doseof 20 mg. The study was preliminary and not a controlled trialusing an already proven androgenic steroid. The remission rateon giving this compound to advanced breast cancer was 11/41or 26.8% and the average duration of the remission was 10.5months. Hoarseness (8/41, 19.5%) and hirsutism (5/41, 12.2%) were relativelyoften seen as virilizing side effects. No unfavorable effectson the hematopoietic organs, the liver or on calcium metabolismwere recognized in the study. |
