Two cases of leucoerythroblastic anaemia, thrombocytopenia and hypogammaglobulinaemia in prostatic cancer invading the bone marrow are reported. In both cases a complete haematological remission was obtained following intense treatment with phosphoestrol (Honvanr̀). Evidence is presented that leuco‐erythroblastic anaemia represents a state of ineffective erythropoiesis.
