title: Management of adenocarcinoma of prostate with diethylstilbestrol diphosphate and cyclophosphamide.
abstract: Eleven patients with terminal metastatic prostatic carcinoma were selected for a pilot study to evaluate how effective diethylstilbestrol diphosphate (Stilphostrol) and cylcophosphamide (Cytoxan) are in this disease.  Six of 7 patients had a good response when treated with diethylstilbestrol diphosphate.  The mean duration of response was 6.4 months.  All 6 patients given cyclophosphamide had marked relief of pain and increased mobility.  Of these, 3 died twelve, sixteen, and nineteen weeks, respectively, following initiation of therapy while still benefiting from pain relief.  The mean duration of response was 14.8 weeks.
