title: [Treatment of advanced metastasizing carcinoma of the prostate with estracyt (author's transl)].
abstract: We treated 41 patients with advancing metastatic carcinoma of the prostate in our hospital for 21 days by giving 2 X 150 mg Estracyt intravenously per day. We saw good clinical results in 32 of the 41 patients (= 78%). We found a statistically significant (P less than 0.05) decrease of the acid and prostatic phosphatases. There was a significant (P less than 0.05) increase of the alkaline phosphatases. We did not see any renal or hematologic toxicity. Ten % of our intravenously treated patients experienced thrombophlebitis at the site of injection. Estracyt showed good clinical results.
