Description/Abstract:
THIS LETTER IS IN ANSWER TO JUNE 1973 LETTER. KLIGERMAN STATES THAT I IS IMPOSSIBLE TO ADVISE ON A PATIENT HE HAS NOT SEEN. KLIGERMAN SAID THAT IN A SCIENTIFIC STUDY OF THE EFFECTS OF FEMALE HORMONES, A GOOD EFFECT AGAINST THE CANCER WAS FOUND, BUT THERE WAS AN INCREASE IN DEAT DUE TO HEART ATTACKS. SOME PATIENTS CAN BE HELPED BY RADIATION THERAP BUT THIS MAY NOT BE APPROPRIATE IN THIS CASE. KLIGERMAN SUGGESTS REFERRING THE CASE TO THE VETERAN'S HOSPITAL SINCE THE PATIENT IS A VETERAN, AND THE VETERAN'S HOSPITALS HAVE DONE A GREAT DEAL IN THE FIE OF PROSTATE CANCER.
