Our preliminary experience shows that flutamide is an effective treatment in patients with stage C and D prostate cancer. Local and distant response rates appear to be comparable with those obtained by "classic" hormone therapy. Libido and sexual potency are generally not affected. Palliation of symptoms is frequent and is usually accompanied by improvement of performance status and quality of life. The side effects are slight or moderate, but an elevation of transaminases in patients with borderline liver insufficiency is possible.
