Abstract
The analgesic effects of alcohol infusion of the pituitary, high-dose progesterone and their association on chronic intractable pain in TX N+ M+ breast cancer patients no longer responsive to combination chemotherapy, radiotherapy and hormone therapy are assessed. The antalgic effect of medroxyprogesterone proved to be more lasting than that of alcohol infusion of the pituitary. Moreover, 6 of the 20 patients treated with the former presented regression of the disease whereas none of those treated with alcohol did so.This publication has 15 references indexed in Scilit:
