Prostate Cancer-Androgen Deprivation Therapy

Prostate Cancer-Androgen Deprivation Therapy

This treatment option used to be done with the use of a surgical
procedure called orchidectomy. However, now it can be administered
through the use of a hormone drug. The drug controls the production
and release of testosterone, or prevents testosterone in the body from
metabolizing into dihydrotestosterone. These hormones can have an
adverse effect on prostate cancer, so controlling their production is
very important. Because this treatment is so non-invasive, it is very
popular among prostate cancer patients.
