External beam radiotherapy (EBRT) is a well-established definitive therapeutic approach for clinically localized prostate cancer (CLPCa). Although CLPCa had been mainly treated with EBRT alone, androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) has been shown to improve not only biochemical control but also survival...

Continuing ADT beyond 6 months does not improve outcomes in men with high-risk localized prostate cancer also receiving brachytherapy and external beam radiation therapy, new research suggests.
Making Radiation Therapy for Prostate Cancer More Economical and More Convenient What's known on the subject? and What does the study add? Men diagnosed with prostate cancer are increasingly involved in making their own treatment decisions and the current recommendations for treatment are based on in...

Prostate cancer that has metastasized is treated with radiation or surgery along with drugs that block the hormones the tumors rely on to grow and spread. Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) uses medications to block the action of hormones like testosterone that promotes male sex characteristics....
