Doua injuraturi strica , dar o informatie ba:
[« Hormone therapy to treat advanced prostate cancer can increase the risk of heart disease, but some types of hormone therapy appear to be safer than others , new research has found.
The study included 30 642 Swedish men with either locally advanced prostate cancer or prostate cancer that had spread (metastatic cancer), who had received hormone therapy as primary treatment for their cancer. The study findings were scheduled to be presented Tuesday at the European Cancer Organization meeting in Berlin. In a news release from the European Cancer Organization, the researchers described the types of hormone therapy used : removal of the testicles to eliminate the main source of testosterone production, injections of gonadotropin –releasing hormone agonists to reduce testosterone production by the testicles ; and anti-androgen pills that block testosterone from attaching to prostate cells. Most of the patients received one treatment, but 38% were given two types of drugs, the study authors noted. The men were followed for an average of three years and monitored for ischemic heart disease , heart attacks, arrhythmia and heart failure.
« We found that prostate cancer patients treated with hormone therapy had an elevated risk of developing all of the individual types of heart problems and that they were more likely than normal to die from those causes « , study lead author Mieke Van Hemelrijck . a cancer epidemiologist at King’s College in London, England , said in the news release.
« In a more detailed analysis by type of hormone therapy, the lowest increase in risk for ischemic heart disease , hart attack and heart failure was seen in the group taking anti-androgen therapy , and we saw no increase in risk of death from heart disease in this group. Patients on gonadotropin – releasing hormone agonist therapy had the highest risk of these problems », Van Hemelrijck said.
DEFINITION OF AGONIST.
AGONIST : A drug that binds to a receptor of all cell and triggers a response by the cell. An agonist often mimics the action of a naturally occurring substance. An agonist produces an action. It is opposite of an antagonist which acts against and blocks an action. AGONISTS and ANTAGONISTS are key agents in the chemistry of the human body and important players today in pharmacology. The word « agonist’ comes the Late Latin « agnista », contender , from the Greek « agnists », contestant , from « agn », contest. An AGONIST is a chemical contestant or contender.
