dehydroepiandrosterone and Hormone-Dependent Neoplasms

dehydroepiandrosterone has been researched along with Hormone-Dependent Neoplasms in 23 studies

Dehydroepiandrosterone: A major C19 steroid produced by the ADRENAL CORTEX. It is also produced in small quantities in the TESTIS and the OVARY. Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) can be converted to TESTOSTERONE; ANDROSTENEDIONE; ESTRADIOL; and ESTRONE. Most of DHEA is sulfated (DEHYDROEPIANDROSTERONE SULFATE) before secretion.
dehydroepiandrosterone : An androstanoid that is androst-5-ene substituted by a beta-hydroxy group at position 3 and an oxo group at position 17. It is a naturally occurring steroid hormone produced by the adrenal glands.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"About one third of unselected postmenopausal women with advanced breast cancer respond to treatment with aminoglutethimide and hydrocortisone, but they all eventually relapse, and further progression of disease occurs."7.67Endocrine changes associated with relapse in advanced breast cancer patients on aminoglutethimide therapy. ( Dowsett, M; Harris, AL; Jeffcoate, SL; Smith, IE, 1984)
"Reports that MCF-7 human breast cancer cells can transform both estrone (E1)1 to estradiol (E2) and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) to the estrogenic steroid 5-androstenediol (AED), have prompted us to investigate the 17-ketosteroid reductase activities (17-KSR's) which mediate these potentially important reactions."5.28Dehydroepiandrosterone and estrone 17-ketosteroid reductases in MCF-7 human breast cancer cells. ( Hinkhouse, M; MacIndoe, JH; Woods, G, 1990)
"About one third of unselected postmenopausal women with advanced breast cancer respond to treatment with aminoglutethimide and hydrocortisone, but they all eventually relapse, and further progression of disease occurs."3.67Endocrine changes associated with relapse in advanced breast cancer patients on aminoglutethimide therapy. ( Dowsett, M; Harris, AL; Jeffcoate, SL; Smith, IE, 1984)
"Treatment with dehydroepiandrosterone pellets, which produced clinical castration levels of serum testosterone, accelerated the MDA PCa 2b-hr but not MDA PCa 2b tumor growth in castrated mice and increased blood prostate-specific antigen levels in castrated mice bearing MDA PCa 2b-hr tumors but not in mice bearing MDA PCa 2b tumors."1.32Enhanced androgen receptor signaling correlates with the androgen-refractory growth in a newly established MDA PCa 2b-hr human prostate cancer cell subline. ( Araki, H; Hara, T; Kusaka, M; Nakamura, K; Yamaoka, M, 2003)
" DHEA inhibits prostate cancer induction both when chronic administration is begun prior to carcinogen exposure, and when administration is delayed until preneoplastic prostate lesions are present."1.30Chemoprevention of hormone-dependent prostate cancer in the Wistar-Unilever rat. ( McCormick, DL; Rao, KV, 1999)
"The major focus in prostate cancer therapy currently is the role of the adrenal androgens."1.29Basis for hormonal management of advanced prostate cancer. ( Geller, J, 1993)
