gynecomastia/fatigue

Malignant feminizing adrenocortical tumors are exceedingly rare. Their main presentation is gynecomastia. In these estrogen secreting tumors (with or without other adrenocortical hormones) lack of gynecomastia is exceptional as in our case. A 44-year-old man presented with abdominal pain.

BACKGROUND Enzalutamide is an androgen receptor inhibitor with a demonstrated overall survival benefit in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. A phase 2 study of enzalutamide monotherapy in patients with hormone-naïve prostate cancer (HNPC) showed a high response rate for the

OBJECTIVE A phase 2 study of enzalutamide monotherapy in patients with hormone naïve prostate cancer demonstrated high prostate specific antigen response rates at 25 weeks, 1 year and 2 years with minimal effects on total body bone mineral density and favorable safety. In this followup analysis we

Many patients with prostate cancer for whom hormonal therapy is indicated are still physically and sexually active; quality of life is therefore a vital issue when considering treatment options. Traditional castration-based therapies, although effective, have implications with respect to quality of

METHODS Male, 81 FINAL DIAGNOSIS: Prostate cancer Symptoms: Anorexia • dark urine • joundice • letargy METHODS Casodex Clinical Procedure: - Specialty: Oncology. OBJECTIVE Adverse events of drug therapy. BACKGROUND Bicalutamide is a nonsteroidal anti-androgen used extensively during the initiation

Anti-thyroid peroxidase antibodies were prospectively assayed and compared with anti-microsome and anti-thyroglobulin antibodies in 203 patients (188 women, 15 men; mean age 42 +/- 14 years). These patients consulted for hyperthyroidism (n = 42, including 18 with Graves' disease), fumary

Cyproterone acetate is a progestational antiandrogen with potent antigonadotropic activity that results in rapid suppression of serum testosterone. Used as a single agent, cyproterone acetate yields a total androgen blockade. It may be combined with low-dose diethylstilbestrol, orchiectomy, or LHRH

The incidence of lung cancer has exploded in this century. The disease is most commonly diagnosed in the 65-75 year age group but can occur as young as 30 years. Cigarette smoking is usually related to lung cancer in men and the risk of developing lung cancer increases with duration of smoking and

The patient was a 70-year-old male with complaint of macrohematuria at the first visit to our clinic on June 10, 1986. At that time, cystoscopy revealed a thumb sized papillary tumor and a rice sized non papillary tumor, and the biopsy specimen was pathologically diagnosed as undifferentiated

Anti-androgen therapy is the leading treatment for advanced prostate cancer and is commonly used for neoadjuvant or adjuvant treatment. Bicalutamide is a non-steroidal anti-androgen, used during the initiation of androgen deprivation therapy along with a luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone agonist

Klinefelter's syndrome affects 1 in 500 men across all ethnic groups but the diagnosis is often delayed because of substantial variations in clinical presentation. A 26 year-old male came to observation for chronic fatigue. His laboratory data and radiological examination were negative. Examination

OBJECTIVE To investigate the safety and feasibility of rapid androgen cycling for men with progressive prostate cancer. METHODS Schedule 1 included a 4-week induction of androgen depletion, followed by 4-week treatment cycles of a monthly gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist, testosterone on days

Opioid-induced endocrinopathy (OIE) is a condition that affects more Americans than other common comorbid conditions such as heart disease and diabetes combined. It is an important and often unrecognized cause of endocrinopathy, and can result in various clinical manifestations such as sexual

Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is effective in prolonging the progression free survival of patients with symptomatic/metastatic prostate cancer (PC). The reduction of clinical symptoms of tumour disease and the reduction of tumour growth and metastatic dissemination is accompanied by systemic
