Abstract: The present invention refers to steroid derivatives for use as medicaments. More specifically, the invention also relates to the use of a steroid derivative of 5-androstene-, 5-pregnenolone or corresponding saturated derivatives (androstane- or pregnane-) in the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment of a benign and/or malignant tumour, which medicament is capable of interrupting disturbances in Wut-signaling, such as cell-cycle arrest in G1-phase, and/or providing an angiostatic effect. Examples of such steroid derivatives are -5-androstene-17-ol, androstane-17-ol-pregnane-17-ol or pregnane-17-ol derivatives.
