The authors summarize possibilities of hormonal treatment of non-malignant diseases of the mammary gland. Attention is paid in particular to progestins (progesterone, derivatives of hydroxyprogesterone, derivatives of 19 nor-testosterone), their combination with estrogens (hormonal contraceptives, minipills) and hormonal substitution therapy, methods of chemoprevention of mammary cancer. In conjunction with the subject the authors mention also the possibility to use some other preparations (Danazol, Gonadotropin releasing hormones, tamoxifen etc.). The authors submit their own pattern of hormonal treatment of non-malignant diseases of the mammary gland.
