title: [Prostatic carcinoma: metabolic effect of percutaneous beta-estradiol (author's transl)].
abstract: Twenty one patients suffering from carcinoma of the prostate, confirmed histologically and previously untreated, received treatment in the form of 17 beta-estradiol administered percutaneously. At a dose of 6 mg of estradiol per day, testosterone levels fell to a mean of 1 ng/ml. No change in lipids, lipoproteins nor cholinesterase were detected.
