Prostate Cancer Treatment Options: Medical Castration - Antagonist vs Agonist

Medical therapy to induce a castration is generally intended for use in patients who have advanced disease not curable by surgery, radiation therapy, or cryotherapy.  Over the last decade however, there has been more widespread use of these treatments in patients who do not have advanced disease but are not candidates for curative therapy for... Read moreChevron
