Abstract

An experts' meeting on the ‘Role of progestins with partial antiandrogenic effects’ was held in Berlin from January 19 to 22, 2001. The meeting was chaired by Dr R. Sitruk-Ware (New York, USA) and participants included Ms F. Fruzzetti (Pisa, Italy), J. Hanker (Trier, Germany), J. Huber (Vienna, Austria), F. Husmann (Bad Sassendorf, Germany), S. O. Skouby (Copenhagen, Denmark), J. H. H. Thijssen (Utrecht, The Netherlands), and R. Druckmann (Nice, France). The present paper reports the conclusions of the meeting.
