Abstract

Purpose: To assess the effectiveness and tolerability of estramustine sodium phosphate in men with hot flushes during combined androgen blockade (CAB) therapy for prostate cancer.

Patients and methods: Seven men with moderate to severe hot flushes were received estramustine sodium phosphate. Treatment response was assessed by hot flush score.

Results: A significant reduction in the hot flush score was seen with all patients. No thromboembolic complications occurred in any patients.

Conclusions: Estramustine sodium phosphate appears to be a promising, well-tolerated and useful therapy for men with hot flushes during CAB treatment for prostate cancer.
