spironolactone and Breast Neoplasms

spironolactone has been researched along with Breast Neoplasms in 23 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.

Breast Neoplasms: Tumors or cancer of the human BREAST.

"To provide dermatologists and oncologists with a foundation for practical understanding and uses of 5α-reductase inhibitors and spironolactone for breast cancer patients and survivors receiving endocrine therapies (ETs), including the effect of these treatments on sex hormone levels, any reported drug interactions, and any risk of malignancy."9.01Safety of 5α-reductase inhibitors and spironolactone in breast cancer patients receiving endocrine therapies.

( Greenway, B; Johnson, PJ; Williams, R, 1982)
"Among the four human breast cancer cell lines tested (MCF-7, T-47D, ZR-75-1, and MDA-MB-435s), the ZR-75-1 cells were selectively insensitive to the antiproliferative actions of 2-MeO-E2, although these cells had a similar sensitivity as other cell lines to several other anticancer agents (5-fluorouracil, mitomycin C, doxorubicin, colchicine, vinorelbine, and paclitaxel)."5.33Selective insensitivity of ZR-75-1 human breast cancer cells to 2-methoxyestradiol: evidence for type II 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase as the underlying cause.
