چکیده

A 65-year-old man with advanced prostate cancer was treated with a luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LH-RH) analogue. Four days after the initial injection of 3.6 mg of goserelin acetate, severe dyspnea developed due to worsening pleuritis carcinomatosa, which was considered as a flare-up. Chest drainage was required to save his life. Therefore, we emphasize the importance of treatment to prevent tumor flare during LH-RH analogue therapy.
