[Testosterone, FSH and LH level in the serum of patients with prostatic neoplasms, treated with female hormones]. / Testosteron-, FSH- und LH-Spiegel im Serum bei Patienten mit Prostatakarzinom unter Behandlung mit weiblichen Hormonen.

ABSTRACT

Testosterone, FSH and LH were measured in serum of patients suffering from prostatic carcinoma. The efficacy of treatment with 1 mg diethylstilbestrol/d (Cyren A) was shown by suppressed serum levels of testosterone, FSH and LH comparable to castration in a follow-up until 560 weeks after beginning of therapy. Prolactin was raised in all patients under treatment.
