Topic: Prostrate Cancer Treatment

Prostate cancer is one of the most common malignancies to affect men. Also, prostate cancer cells tend to thrive on testosterone, the male hormone. By altering the hormonal milieu and reducing the amount of testosterone the body produces, cancer cells "starve" and die. This measure can increase the man's survival. Hence, hormonal therapy, also known as ADT (androgen deprivation therapy) is a mainstream treatment for prostate cancer.
