| pubmed-article:6879882 | pubmed:abstractText | Advanced carcinoma of the prostate may present as disseminated intravascular coagulation and its sequelae.

High-dose intravenous diethylstilbestrol diphosphate successfully reversed this coagulopathy in 2 cases of metastatic carcinoma of the prostate. | lld:pubmed |
