A life–threatening haemorrhagic cystitis, which occurred in a patient with metastatic prostatic carcinoma, was controlled with epsilon–amino‐caproic acid (EACA) after conventional approaches to treatment failed. EACA administration was both systemic and intravesical, and control of bleeding occurred within 24 hours after initiation of treatment.
