Journal Title: OncoReview - Year 2011, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
In last decades prostate cancer became one of the most common cancers in the World, and one of the most common cancer death diagnosis. As a hormone-dependent entity for almost 70 years prostate cancer is treated with hormonal manipulation. At present hormonal blockade with LHRH analogues is used in therapy of the advanced prostate cancer, however hormonal manipulation is useful in different stages of disease from neoadjuvant setting prior to radiotherapy, adjuvant therapy post surgery or radiotherapy and in relapses after radical treatment. Post progression on the hormonal therapy next line hormone manipulation may result in objective response
