Flutamide, a new non‐steroidal anti‐androgenic agent, was administered in the treatment of five assessable patients with advanced carcinoma of the prostate. Two patients showed significant clinical benefit, one showed a reduction in his requirement for analgesia and two failed to benefit; side‐effects were minimal. These results indicate the need for a controlled clinical trial of flutamide in patients with prostatic cancer.
