Abstract

The effect of the progestogen medroxyprogesterone acetate on metastases from renal, endometrial and other tumours has been studied in 25 patients. Seven patients with renal and endometrial tumours had a useful response, pulmonary metastases and a large primary renal tumour showing the greatest effect. Bony metastases were unaffected by the drug and were treated by local radiotherapy. If a response occurred, it did so within 3 months.
