title: [Psychopharmaceuticals and cancer. Modification of tumor growth by psychoactive drugs].
abstract: Psychotropic agents can promote tumors and inhibit neoplastic cell growth. Diazepam which is cancerogenic in some animal models has no such potency in large epidemiologic studies. Neuroleptics increase serumprolactine but psychiatric patients treated with these agents are not of higher risk for breast cancer.
