Curative effect of intermittent androgen deprivation treatment for advanced prostate cancer

Objective To explore the possibility and advantage of intermittent androgen deprivation(IAD) for patients with advanced prostate cancer.Methods In 59 patients with advanced prostate cancer,30(group A) were treated with IAD and the remaining 29 patients(group B) with continuous androgen deprivation(CAD).The disease progression and the side effect of two groups were observed.Results There was no siginificant difference between two groups in the progression of the disease.The incidence of the side effect was lower in group A than in group B and side effects could be alleviated during off-treatment period in group A.Conclusion IAD is feasible,and can reduce side effects and raise the quality of life of the patients with advanced prostate cancer.
