Balancing Hormone Therapy: Mitigating Adverse Effects of Androgen-Deprivation Therapy and Exploring Alternatives in Prostate Cancer Management
– An ASCO Reading Room selection
December 19, 2024This Reading Room is a collaboration between 51³ÉÈ˶¯Âþ® and:
Androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) is well established as the standard of care in metastatic prostate cancer (PCa) management; however, ADT has significant adverse effects (AEs) that must be addressed.
This review aims to highlight opportunities to mitigate AEs of ADT and explore alternatives in PCa management. Specifically, we discuss behavioral and pharmacologic strategies for mitigating ADT AEs as well as ADT-sparing approaches for hormone-sensitive and castration-resistant PCa.
Equipped with effective mitigation strategies and possible alternatives, clinicians and researchers can optimize health-related quality of life for patients currently receiving ADT for PCa and consider treatments that spare patients from AEs of ADT.
