Descriptor antineoplásicos hormonales
Scope note: Antineoplásicos que se utilizan para tratar tumores sensibles a hormonas. Los tumores sensibles a hormonas pueden ser tumores que responden a hormonas, tumores que dependen de hormonas o de ambos tipos. Un tumor dependiente de hormonas desaparece cuando se elimina el estímulo hormonal, ya sea mediante cirugía o por bloqueo farmacológico. Los tumores que responden a hormonas pueden desaparecer cuando se administran cantidades farmacológicas de hormonas independientemente de si se observaron previamente signos de sensibilidad hormonal. Entre los principales cánceres que responden a hormonas se encuentran los carcinomas de la mama, próstata y endometrio, los linfomas y ciertas leucemias. (AMA Drug Evaluations Annual 1994, p2079)

Scope note: Antineoplastic agents that are used to treat hormone-sensitive tumors. Hormone-sensitive tumors may be hormone-dependent, hormone-responsive, or both. A hormone-dependent tumor regresses on removal of the hormonal stimulus, by surgery or pharmacological block. Hormone-responsive tumors may regress when pharmacologic amounts of hormones are administered regardless of whether previous signs of hormone sensitivity were observed. The major hormone-responsive cancers include carcinomas of the breast, prostate, and endometrium; lymphomas; and certain leukemias. (From AMA Drug Evaluations Annual 1994, p2079)
