Estramustine phosphate (EMP), sold under the brand names Emcyt among others, is a medication used to treat prostate cancer.[8] Specifically it is used when the disease is hormone refractory.[8] It is taken by mouth three to four times per day.[8]

Common side effects include diarrhea, heart failure, low red blood cells, breast enlargement, liver problems, blood clots, and nausea.[9] Other side effects may include sexual dysfunction, high blood pressure, and angioedema.[8] Use in pregnancy may harm the baby.[8] It is made by joining an estradiol with a nitrogen mustard.[10]

Estramustine phosphate was introduced for medical use in the early 1970s.[4] It is available in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and other European countries, among others.[1] In the United Kingdom 100 tablets of 140 mg costs the NHS about £170 as of 2021.[9] This amount in the United States costs about 1,600 USD.[11]
