dc.description.abstractFlutamide is a first-generation nonsteroidal antiandrogen, used for treatment of advanced prostate cancer (PCa). We present the clinical case of a patient with localized high-risk PCa who started flutamide before radical prostatectomy and evolved with acute liver failure and liver transplantation. Hepatotoxicity induced by antiandrogen therapy, and current indications for first generation anti-androgen therapy were reviewed. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a man diagnosed with PCa who evolved with acute liver failure secondary to flutamide, and finally required liver transplantation.
