spironolactone and Benign Neoplasms

spironolactone has been researched along with Benign Neoplasms in 19 studies

Spironolactone: A potassium sparing diuretic that acts by antagonism of aldosterone in the distal renal tubules. It is used mainly in the treatment of refractory edema in patients with congestive heart failure, nephrotic syndrome, or hepatic cirrhosis. Its effects on the endocrine system are utilized in the treatments of hirsutism and acne but they can lead to adverse effects. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p827)
spironolactone : A steroid lactone that is 17alpha-pregn-4-ene-21,17-carbolactone substituted by an oxo group at position 3 and an alpha-acetylsulfanyl group at position 7.

" This study was designed to assess the ability of spironolactone to reduce potassium requirements and to prevent hypokalemia in neutropenic patients on AmB treatment."9.10Spironolactone: is it a novel drug for the prevention of amphotericin B-related hypokalemia in cancer patients? ( Avcu, F; Beyan, C; Cetin, T; Kaptan, K; Nazaroglu, NK; Ural, AU; Yalcin, A, 2002)

"Thus, in patients with cancer, alopecia can be iatrogenic (chemotherapies, endocrine therapies, targeted therapies, immunotherapies, radiotherapy, surgery) or directly the consequence of the disease itself (malnutrition, scalp metastases, paraneoplastic syndromes)."2.72[Alopecia and cancers: From basics to clinical practice]. ( Baussard, L; Fiteni, F; Guichard, A; Le Vigouroux, S; Quesada, S, 2021)
"Hirsutism is the excessive growth of terminal hair in a typical male pattern in a female."2.61Hirsutism in Women. ( Bain, J; Matheson, E, 2019)
"Hirsutism is defined as excess hair growth in androgen-dependent areas of the body in women."2.46Hirsutism: Diagnosis and management. ( Brodell, LA; Mercurio, MG, 2010)
"Spironolactone use was associated with a significantly lower risk of prostate cancer (hazard ratio 0."1.46Spironolactone use and risk of incident cancers: a retrospective, matched cohort study. ( MacDonald, TM; Mackenzie, IS; Morant, SV; Thompson, AM; Wei, L, 2017)
