title: Very fast recovery of acute disseminated intravascular coagulation with abiraterone acetate in a patient with bone metastases from castrate-resistant prostate cancer.
abstract: Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is a rare, potentially life-threatening complication of advanced prostate carcinoma. We report the successful treatment with abiraterone acetate of acute DIC related to a progressive bone metastatic disease in a chemotherapy-naïve patient with castrate-resistant prostate cancer.
