What is Bicalutamide?

Bicalutamide is an FDA-approved prescription medication used to treat stage D2 metastatic prostate cancer, which is prostate cancer that has spread (metastasized) to the lymph nodes, bones, and internal organs.

The growth of prostate cancer may be stimulated by male hormones, such as testosterone. Bicalutamide blocks male hormone receptors in the prostate. By blocking these receptors, Bicalutamide blocks the actions of male hormones and helps slow the growth of cancer cells in the prostate.

Bicalutamide is taken along with a luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) analog, such as leuprolide acetate (Lupron). LHRH analogs stop the production of luteinizing hormone, which plays a role in the production of testosterone.
