Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for short or long-term?

It sounds like even only 4 to 6 months of ADT would be sufficient in such a case. This study is huge as in the past it was 24 months for everybody then maybe 18, then some 12. The concern they state with giving ADT is the long term effects. It is terrific news for patients going forward and also how oncologists have struggled as some began reducing ADT length of time based on anecdotal evidence obtained through networking at cancer conferences regardless of NCCN cancer guidelines

New studies now indicate that low testosterone may worsen cancer and major medical research institutions like John Hopkins, Duke, Mayo, and NIH are entertaining the use of TRT (Testosterone Recovery Treatment) after successful initial treatments. Tuesday, I visit my urologist and will attempt to get him to approve TRT for me since my side effects are so bad and my PSA is undetectable after a year.
