A prospective study of the effect of testosterone escape on preradiotherapy prostate-specific antigen kinetics in prostate cancer patients undergoing neoadjuvant androgen deprivation therapy
Abstract:Introduction:
Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) kinetic patterns during neoadjuvant androgen deprivation therapy have been shown to predict unfavorable long-term outcomes.
Objective:
To investigate the effect of testosterone escape (TE) on these kinetic patterns, as this had not been previously reported.
Methods:
There were 50 consecutive prostate cancer patients who received 6 months of triptorelin prior to definitive radiotherapy (RT). Testos… Show more
