⚠️ Specialist-supervised cancer therapy — this medication is started, monitored, and stopped by an oncologist or haematologist. Dosing depends on tumour type, stage, body surface area, organ function, and concomitant therapy. Self-treatment is not appropriate; the information below is educational and supports informed conversations with your specialist.
Bicalutamide can cause severe hepatic injury. Baseline LFTs; recheck at 1 month and every 3 months in the first year. Stop immediately if jaundice, dark urine, or pruritus develops or LFTs >2.5× ULN.
Veelgestelde vragen
When is this used?
Non-steroidal androgen receptor antagonist for advanced prostate cancer — usually combined with LHRH agonist/antagonist for combined androgen blockade, or as monotherapy in selected cases.
Side effects to watch?
Hot flushes, gynaecomastia, fatigue, sexual dysfunction (anti-androgen class effect). Drug-specific monitoring as outlined in the safety boxes above.
Geneesmiddelinteracties?
Vary by molecule — abiraterone is CYP3A4 substrate; bicalutamide is CYP3A4 substrate. Always disclose all medications. Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors/inducers significantly affect levels.
Wanneer moet het worden gestopt?
On disease progression, intolerable toxicity, or successful response with planned treatment break. Always specialist-decided — abrupt cessation can result in transient PSA rise (withdrawal response) which is generally not concerning.
PSA-monitoring?
PSA every 1-3 months while on therapy. Rising PSA on castration suggests castration-resistance — may need switch to second-line agents (abiraterone, enzalutamide, docetaxel).
Combined androgen blockade?
LHRH agonist (goserelin, leuprolide) + bicalutamide is a common combination. Maximal androgen blockade has modest survival benefit over LHRH alone.
Bone health?
Long-term androgen deprivation accelerates bone loss. Add a bisphosphonate (zoledronic acid) or denosumab in osteopenia/osteoporosis. Calcium and vitamin D supplementation.
Zwangerschap?
Anti-androgens are teratogenic — partners must use effective contraception during therapy. Most relevant for younger men with localised disease.
Wat als ik een dosis vergeet?
Take when you remember if same day; otherwise skip. Specialist may have specific guidance for missed doses depending on regimen.
Cardiovascular monitoring?
Mandatory for fosfestrol; advised for abiraterone (BP, fluid retention, electrolytes); routine for bicalutamide (occasional CV review).
