title: Aminoglutethimide (AG) and hydrocortisone (HC) in bone metastases: a retrospective study.
abstract: The response rate in bone metastases in 57 patients treated with aminoglutethimide and hydrocortisone was retrospectively assessed. All the X-rays were reviewed by two senior radiologists. A response was observed in 23% of the patients, a stabilization in 32%. The survival was not different whether a response or stabilization was observed. Conversely, survival was significantly worse in patients who experienced a progressive disease.
