Abstract

The detection of androgen receptors within Juvenile Nasopharyngeal Angiofibroma (JNA) has prompted investigation of the role of Flutamide. The aim of this review is to evaluate Flutamide as a possible neo-adjuvant treatment for JNA. Literature searches were conducted using MEDLINE, EMBASE and Web of Science. The Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) checklist was used to assess risk of bias. The Oxford Centre of Evidence-Based Medicine (OCEBM) Levels of Evidence was used to stratify the evidence level. Literature searches were conducted using MEDLINE, EMBASE and Web of Science. Flutamide as neo-adjuvant treatment potentially causes a reduction in JNA tumor volume by ≥ 25%. Based on the current limited evidence, Flutamide has a limited role in JNA management and further research is required. Its utilization should only follow discussion with the patient, their families, and within the multidisciplinary team.
