[Treatment of advanced prostatic carcinoma with ketoconazole. Our experience in 10 cases].
We have treated 10 patients with histologically diagnosed prostate carcinoma, in states C and D, with orally administered dosage of 1200 mg./day of ketoconazol, with the following results: Four patients were excluded through displaying gastrointestinal intolerance in the first days of treatment. Three patients treated had the dosage reduced to half due to poor tolerance, but no improvement was noted. Another three patients tolerated the treatment for four months and displayed transitory remission of ostealgia, which permitted the withdrawal of analgesics. In these patients the treatment was suspended due to digestive intolerance and to the appearance of a clinical picture compatible with suprarrenal corex hypoadrenalism.
