Prostatic cancer: treatment with long-acting LHRH analogue.
Fifteen patients with advanced carcinoma of the prostate were treated with a luteinising hormone releasing hormone agonist ICI 118 630. Three of 5 patients who had failed conventional hormone therapy have had a marked alleviation of bone pain, though no objective evidence of disease regression. Nine of 10 patients previously untreated have shown objective evidence of disease response. This drug appears to have advantages over conventional hormone therapy.
