Survival Following Primary Androgen Deprivation Therapy Among Men With Localized Prostate Cancer

Abstract

This chapter summarizes the findings of a population-based, observational study comparing men with clinically localized prostate cancer who received primary androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) or were treated conservatively. The investigator used instrumental variable analysis to adjust for potential confounders. This study found no improvement in survival for men receiving primary ADT.
