摘要: Purpose: To evaluate the impact of flutamide on survival patients with unresectable pancreatic cancer. Methods: This single institution, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled study compared in dose 250 mg three times daily (n = 23) versus histologically proven, previously untreated adenocarcinoma. The primary end point was overall survival; secondary endpoints included 6-month and 1-year rates, performance status response rate. Results: Both groups were well matched regards to demographic, disease related treatment variables. small sample sized study, failed demonstrate a dramatic effect use flutamide. Median 151 days as 136 (p 0.51). rate 39.13% both arms 4.35% 13.04% for group. There no statistically significant difference time deterioration (flutamide 90 68 days, p 0.59) all died result tumor progression. Conclusions: Anti-androgen drug does not appear prolong
