Paraparesis due to metastatic prostatic cancer effectively treated with a high dose of diethylstilbestrol diphosphate: a case report.
    Hinyokika kiyo. Acta urologica Japonica, 1993, Volume: 39, Issue:11

    A case of paraparesis due to thoracic vertebula metastasis of prostate cancer is reported. Treatment through a high dose of diethylstilbestrol diphosphate (DES-P) was very effective. Two and a half years later, the patient is ambulatory and relapse has not occurred. We recommend the use of a high dose of DES-P for spinal cord compression due to prostate cancer, instead of laminectomy or radiation.

Hormonal treatment of symptomatic spinal cord compression in advanced prostatic cancer.
    International urology and nephrology, 1991, Volume: 23, Issue:4

    The authors describe 2 cases of symptomatic spinal cord compression due to metastatic prostatic cancer. Both cases showed marked improvement of cord compression after hormone therapy, and decompressive laminectomy was not necessary. The management of prostatic cancer patients with symptomatic spinal cord compression is discussed.
