Abstract
IN 1951 Groen et al.1 , 2 described the satisfactory maintenance of several patients with Addison's disease by means of glycyrrhizinic acid. Although Addison's disease differs in many respects from the state of complete absence of the adrenal glands, the similarity of the two conditions is striking enough to warrant an evaluation of glycyrrhizinic acid in patients subjected to bilateral adrenalectomy.Clinical StudyThree patients with metastatic cancer were utilized in this study: a man with papillary carcinoma of the kidney (Case 1), another man with embryonal-cell carcinoma of the right testicle (Case 3) and a woman with adenocarcinoma of the breast . . .Keywords
