ATTN: ALL WOMEN RE: DANAZOL & OVARIAN CANCER From: anonymous (anonymous@obgyn.net) Sun May 12 00:35:32 2002 Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: anonymous: "ATTN: JENNIFER! Read this article on Danazol Re: danazol and pregnancy" Previous message: jennifer: "danazol and pregnancy" Thanks to one of the women at the alt.support.endo forum who brought this to our attention, I am now passing on this info to the forum. For all who are on or are considering the use of Danazol, please reconsider. Read the following article which reports that Danazol use is considered to increase risk of ovarian cancer! Endo women are already at increased risk of ovarian cancer. http://www.pslgroup.com/dg/214df2.htm I will include a quote from the article: "In the study, women taking danazol, a synthetic version of the male hormone androgen, were nearly three times more likely to develop ovarian cancer than were women taking leuprolide, an anti-androgenic, gonadotropin- releasing hormone agonist. Both drugs are used to treat endometriosis, a painful disease in which pieces of uterine tissue migrate to other parts of the body." Next message: anonymous: "ATTN: JENNIFER!
