Estramustine phosphate (EMP), also known as estradiol normustine phosphate and sold under the brand names Emcyt and Estracyt, is a dual estrogen and chemotherapy medication which is used in the treatment of prostate cancer in men.[7][4][8][9][10][3][1][11][5][12] It is taken multiple times a day by mouth or by injection into a vein.[7][8][3][1][5][12]

Side effects of EMP include nausea, vomiting, gynecomastia, feminization, demasculinization, sexual dysfunction, blood clots, and cardiovascular complications.[3][9][13] EMP is a dual cytostatic and hence chemotherapeutic agent and a hormonal anticancer agent of the estrogen type.[1][3][14][5] It is a prodrug of estramustine and estromustine in terms of its cytostatic effects and a prodrug of estradiol in relation to its estrogenic effects.[1][3] EMP has strong estrogenic effects at typical clinical dosages, and consequently has marked antigonadotropic and functional antiandrogenic effects.[4][1][3][14]

EMP was introduced for medical use in the early 1970s.[3] It is available in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, other European countries, and elsewhere in the world.[15][16]
