Abstract
Cyproterone acetate was given as monotherapy to 18 patients with advanced prostatic carcinoma at a weekly dose of 300 mg. Progression was observed in all of the patients; median time to progression was 35 months and median survival time was 48 months. Partial response, stabilization, progression and exitus rates by years also showed favourable results, as compared with other forms of therapy in advanced prostatic carcinoma.
