摘要:
Certain benzopyran antiestrogens are disclosed for treating estrogen sensitive diseases such as breast cancer. Prodrug forms provide ease of manufacturing, good shelf life, and bioavailibility, and preferred stereoisomers are shown to be more effective than racemic mixtures.
摘要:
Sex steroid precursors such as dehydroepiandrosterone and dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate, and compounds converted in vivo to either of the foregoing, are utilized for the treatment and/or prevention of vaginal atrophy, hypogonadism, diminished libido, osteoporosis, urinary incontinence, ovarian cancer, uterine cancer, skin atrophy, for contraception, and, in combination with an estrogen and/or progestin, for the treatment of menopause. The precursors may be formulated for percutaneous or transmucosal administration. Gels, solutions, lotions, creams, ointments and transdermal patches for the administration of these presursors are provided, as are certain pharmaceutical compositions and kits which can be used for the prevention and treatment of a wide variety of conditions related to decreased secretion of sex steroid precursors by the adrenals.
摘要:
Procédé permettant de dépister la présence éventuelle d'un cancer de la prostate, qui consiste à mesurer la concentration en antigène spécifique de prostate dans le sérum (PSA) et à comparer ladite concentration à une certaine valeur seuil, de manière à pouvoir identifier une sous-catégorie de la population masculine présentant un risque élevé de cancer de la prostate, et entamer des procédures de diagnostic plus approfondies pour confirmer ou infirmer le diagnostic de cancer de la prostate.
摘要:
Compounds having the structure (or their salts): are used to treat or reduce the likelihood of acquiring androgen-dependent diseases, such as prostate cancer, benign prostatic hyperplasia, polycystic ovarian syndrome, acne, hirsutism, seborrhea, androgenic alopecia and male baldness. The compounds can be formulated together with pharmaceutically acceptable diluents or carriers or otherwise made into any pharmaceutical dosage form. Combinations with other active pharmaceutical agents are also disclosed.

摘要:
Novel methods for the medical treatment and/or inhibition of the development of breast cancer, hypercholesterolemia, hyperlipidemia or atherosclerosis in susceptible warm-blooded animals including humans involving administration of selective estrogen receptor modulator and an amount of a sex steroid precursor selected from the group consisting of dehydroepiandrosterone, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, androst-5-ene-3ß,17ß-diol, and compounds converted in vivo to one of the foregoing precursors. Further administration of bisphosphonates in combination with selective estrogen receptor modulators and/or sex steroid precursors is disclosed. Pharmaceutical compositions for delivery of active ingredients and kits useful to the invention are disclosed.
摘要:
Androst-5-ene3ß,17ß-diol is used to treat or reduce menopausal symptoms, or other diseases affected by estrogen receptor activity, and for conditions which respond well to DHEA treatment, but where a higher ratio of estrogenic to androgenic effects is desired. Combination therapies are included, as are kits and pharmaceutical compositions for providing the active ingredients of claimed methods and combinations. The indication is selected from the group consisting of hypogonadism, skin atrophy, skin dryness, diminished libido, and urinary incontinence.
