Abstract

The administration of hormones or the suppression or antagonism of endogenous hormones may significantly inhibit the growth of certain malignant neoplasms (e.g. prostate, male and female breast and endometrium). Growth of tumours of the ovary, kidney and thyroid appear to be to some degree subject to hormonal influences; leukaemia and malignant lymphomas may also be influenced by corticosteroids.
