flutamide and Ovarian Neoplasms

flutamide has been researched along with Ovarian Neoplasms in 7 studies

Flutamide: An antiandrogen with about the same potency as cyproterone in rodent and canine species.

Ovarian Neoplasms: Tumors or cancer of the OVARY. These neoplasms can be benign or malignant. They are classified according to the tissue of origin, such as the surface EPITHELIUM, the stromal endocrine cells, and the totipotent GERM CELLS.

"Treatment of ovarian cancer HEY cells with 500 nM 5alpha-dihydrotestosterone (DHT), but not estradiol-17beta or progesterone, for 60 h down-regulated the expression of mRNA for TGF-beta receptors I and II (TbetaR-I and TbetaR-II), betaglycan, and endoglin but had no effect on TGF-beta1 mRNA levels."1.31Down-regulation of transforming growth factor beta receptors by androgen in ovarian cancer cells.

Trial Outcomes

Colony Stimulating Factor (CSF-1) Expression in Ovarian Endosalpingiosis

"CSF-1 levels were measured by immunohistochemistry (IHC).~The modified H-Score assess extent of nuclear immunoreactivity applicable to steroid receptors.~The modified H-scores total range is 0-300. A lower modified H-score indicates weakly staining nuclei. A higher modified H-score indicated strongly staining nuclei.~This applies to all measures." (NCT00699907)
