Treatment of prostatic cancer with a depot form of a luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone analogue. 1986

L Giuliani, and T Barreca, and C Giberti, and R Franceschini, and G Martorana, and M T Brancadoro, and M Salvemini, and E Rolandi

Chronic administration of a depot form of D-Trp6 luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LH-RH), an LH-RH analogue (3 mg i.m. every 28 days for a mean period of 9.1 months), to 14 patients with locally extended or metastatic cancer of the prostate provided a good degree of disease control. After a slight and transient increase in gonadotropin secretion, the peptide induced a sharp and long-lasting inhibition of both gonadotropin and testosterone secretion, contemporaneously with clinical improvement and without any important side effects. These results are comparable to those recorded by others after daily administration of LH-RH analogues.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007987 Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone A decapeptide that stimulates the synthesis and secretion of both pituitary gonadotropins, LUTEINIZING HORMONE and FOLLICLE STIMULATING HORMONE. GnRH is produced by neurons in the septum PREOPTIC AREA of the HYPOTHALAMUS and released into the pituitary portal blood, leading to stimulation of GONADOTROPHS in the ANTERIOR PITUITARY GLAND.
