Abstract:
:Postmenopausal patients with metastatic breast cancer were treated with medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) (Clinovir) in dosages between 500 and 1500 mg orally per day. The relation of MPA plasma concentrations and endocrine effects were studied in a longitudinal fashion. MPA exerted suppressive effects on the basal and gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) stimulated gonadotropin secretion, cortisol, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), and estradiol (E2) in a dose-dependent manner leading to a complete suppression with 1500 mg orally per day. The depression of thyroid hormones (T3 and T4) coincided with a depression of the thyroxine-binding index (TBI). MPA did not affect human growth hormone (hGH), basal and thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) stimulated thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and aldosterone. Basal and TRH-stimulated prolactin (PRL) secretion showed a slight but distinct elevation. From these data it is concluded that in postmenopausal patients MPA exerts its antitumor activity by an interference with the hypothalamo-pituitary adrenal axis in the sense of a selective pharmacologic hypophysectomy leading to complete suppression of adrenal steroid secretion. Additionally, MPA inhibits tumor cell growth through the progesterone receptor. A dual mechanism for the antitumor activity of high dose is postulated MPA: ablative through suppression of the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis and subsequent estrogen deprivation, and additive via the progesterone receptor directly on the tumor cell. The significance of gonadotropin suppression in the postmenopause for breast cancer growth is unclear. The depression of T3 and T4 is due to a depression of thyroid hormone-binding proteins. The elevation of PRL secretion may be explained by a slight estrogenic activity of MPA metabolites.
