Abstract
Chronic disseminated intravascular coagulation is present in 13% to 30% of prostate cancer cases. In contrast, overt disseminated intravascular coagul ation is rare (0.4% to 1.65%) but pejorative, arising in metastatic cases. We report the successful use of samarium 153 in a patient with metastatic h ormone refractory disease.
