In response to:
Your dad is being treated with a drug that is blocking the production of testosterone and is most likely an LH/RH analog. (It could also be a newer agent which is an LH/RH antagonist). This drug causes an overstimulation of hormones that result in a decrease in testosterone production. Testosterone is the hormone that allows prostate cancer to grow. Blocking the hormone, results in a control of the prostate cancer, which is reflected by the falling PSA.
