Mifepristone may halt progression of extensively metastatic human adenocarcinoma of the colon – case report.

Anticancer Res. 2009 May;29(5):1611-3.

RESULTS: Both patients not only survived far longer than expected but had marked improvement in their quality of life similar to mice. Though the metastatic lesions did not disappear, no new ones appeared for a long time and the ones present did not grow. The drug was extremely well tolerated. CONCLUSION: The use of progesterone receptor antagonists may present a novel immunotherapy to help fight cancer. A larger controlled study is needed.
