mitotane and Elevated Cholesterol

mitotane has been researched along with Elevated Cholesterol in 4 studies

Mitotane: A derivative of the insecticide DICHLORODIPHENYLDICHLOROETHANE that specifically inhibits cells of the adrenal cortex and their production of hormones. It is used to treat adrenocortical tumors and causes CNS damage, but no bone marrow depression.
