IFX has significant activity, but also major toxicity in a heavily cisplatin-pretreated cohort with advanced urothelial carcinoma. A modification of dose and/or schedule from that described should be considered in future trials. Combination regimens using this agent should be explored.

As the primary hormonal therapy for stage D2 prostate cancer, DES caused more serious cardiovascular or thromboembolic complications than flutamide. Despite this, flutamide was not as active an initial agent as DES. However, the effectiveness of flutamide in conjunction with other agents compared with DES remains undetermined, and the optimal initial hormone therapy of stage D2 prostate cancer requires further studies.
