Plasma testosterone has been estimated by radioimmunoassay in 109 patients with prostatic carcinoma and 18 men of similar age with benign prostatic hyperplasia. Stilboestrol 1 mg 3 times daily, Premarin 2.5 mg 3 times daily, Honvan 100 mg 3 times daily or ethinyloestradiol 0-05 mg twice daily are as effective as large doses of stilboestrol or as orchidectomy in producing a profound and sustained fall in plasma testosterone, but stilboestrol 1 mg daily is not uniformly effective. TACE has no measurable effect on the plasma testosterone. No rise in plasma testosterone is noted in relapse, but pituitary ablation by implantation of yttrium-90 produces a fall in plasma testosterone greater than that achieved by oestrogens alone.
