flutamide and Diarrhea

flutamide has been researched along with Diarrhea in 10 studies

Flutamide: An antiandrogen with about the same potency as cyproterone in rodent and canine species.

Diarrhea: An increased liquidity or decreased consistency of FECES, such as running stool. Fecal consistency is related to the ratio of water-holding capacity of insoluble solids to total water, rather than the amount of water present. Diarrhea is not hyperdefecation or increased fecal weight.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"In a recent study by the Casodex Combination Study Group, USA, patients in a flutamide (750 mg/day) plus LH-RH agonist group showed a high treatment failure rate, mainly due to flutamide-induced diarrhea and hepatotoxicity."5.08Recommended dose of flutamide with LH-RH agonist therapy in patients with advanced prostate cancer. ( Akaza, H; Aso, Y; Isaka, S; Kanetake, H; Koiso, K; Kotake, T; Usami, M, 1996)
" Cross-sectional analyses (corrected for multiple testing) identified statistically significant differences that favored orchiectomy plus placebo for two of the five primary QOL parameters as follows: patients receiving flutamide reported more diarrhea at 3 months (P = ."5.08Quality of life in advanced prostate cancer: results of a randomized therapeutic trial. ( Blumenstein, BA; Crawford, ED; Eisenberger, M; Higgins, B; Lovato, LC; Meyskens, FL; Moinpour, CM; Savage, MJ; Skeel, R; Troxel, A; Veith, RW; Yee, M, 1998)
"Flutamide was administered in monotherapy (75 patients (8%)) or as part of total androgen blockade (TAB groups): the latter group had orchiectomy (196 patients (22%)) or an LHRH (634 patients (70%))."2.68Tolerability and safety of flutamide in monotherapy, with orchiectomy or with LHRH-a in advanced prostate cancer patients. A Belgian multicenter study of 905 patients. ( Casselman, J; Kurjatkin, O; Mattelaer, J; Oosterlinck, W; Schulman, C; Van Velthoven, R, 1996)
"Flutamide was given by mouth in a dose of 250 mg t."2.67Phase II Radiation Therapy Oncology Group study of hormonal cytoreduction with flutamide and Zoladex in locally advanced carcinoma of the prostate treated with definitive radiotherapy. ( Hwang, YS; John, MJ; Krall, JM; McGowan, D; Perez, CA; Pilepich, MV, 1990)
"The present data suggest that those prostate cancer patients who have even marginally elevated adrenal androgens may especially benefit from combined androgen blockade."1.35Partial androgen suppression consequent to increased secretion of adrenal androgens in a patient with prostate cancer treated with long-acting GnRH agonists. ( Belanger, A; Chertin, B; Farkas, A; Fridmans, A; Hartman, H; Labrie, F; Spitz, IM, 2009)
"Treatment choices for metastatic prostate cancer are complex and can involve men balancing survival versus quality of life."1.35Eliciting patient preferences for hormonal therapy options in the treatment of metastatic prostate cancer. ( Dewilde, S; Kleinman, L; Lloyd, A; Penson, D, 2008)
