mitotane and Pancreatitis

mitotane has been researched along with Pancreatitis in 2 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.

Pancreatitis: INFLAMMATION of the PANCREAS. Pancreatitis is classified as acute unless there are computed tomographic or endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatographic findings of CHRONIC PANCREATITIS (International Symposium on Acute Pancreatitis, Atlanta, 1992). The two most common forms of acute pancreatitis are ALCOHOLIC PANCREATITIS and gallstone pancreatitis.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"In untreated hyperadrenocorticism, clinical problems may result from metastasis of an adrenocortical carcinoma, growth of a pituitary tumor, or complications associated with sustained hypercortisolemia itself, such as hypertension, cardiovascular disease, thromboembolism, glucose intolerance, and increased susceptibility to infection."2.40Complications and concurrent disease associated with canine hyperadrenocorticism. ( Nichols, R, 1997)
