Polyestradiol phosphate (PEP) is a long-acting parenteral estrogen used primarily in the treatment of advanced prostate cancer in men. It acts as an estrogen receptor agonist, exerting anti-androgenic effects by suppressing testosterone production. Its clinical use has declined with the availability of more modern therapies, but may still be found in some regions.
