Abstract
While suppressing testosterone to castration levels is the aim of androgen deprivation therapy for the treatment of advanced prostate cancer, studies have shown that prolonged low testosterone levels can have negative effects on patients' overall health and quality of life. This podcast covers two recently published papers that examined testosterone recovery in different ways. One real-world study assessed the impact of delayed testosterone recovery on clinical outcomes in patients with prostate cancer. A second subgroup analysis of the HERO trial assessed rates of testosterone recovery in patients receiving the long-acting, injectable gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor agonist, leuprolide or the oral, once-daily gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor antagonist, relugolix.
