Tumori. 1988 Feb 29;74(1):53-6. doi: 10.1177/030089168807400109.

Abstract

An antiandrogenic agent flutamide was used in the treatment of one male and 14 female postmenopausal breast cancer patients. Only a mild and transient response was seen in 2 female patients. Therefore, flutamide cannot be used solely in the treatment of female postmenopausal breast cancer.
