- Abstract:
- High-dose corticoid therapy was assessed in 36 patients with end-stage cancer of various different types. These patients were compared with a control group of patients with terminal cancer on a conventional palliative regimen without corticoid therapy. Euphoria, a decrease in the required dose of analgetic and psychopharmacological drugs and an anti-inflammatory effect in cases with peritumorous oedema were observed in 27 patients.
