摘要: In 1941 Huggins and Hodges published for the first time favorable effects of surgical castration estrogen treatment on progression metastatic prostate cancer. However, this hormonal therapy is not without side effects. Since pioneering milestone in history cancer, a further tremendous innovation did take place. Today, due to intensive clinical, biochemical, nuclear-biological molecular- biological research, many hormone active variations are available. Besides traditional therapy, or chemical castration, maximal androgen blockade, nontraditional forms intermittent antiandrogens, 5-α-reductase inhibitors, their combinations, we discuss options toward creating an increased number effect-oriented offers options, guaranteeing longer more comfortable exhaustion individual period response probably survival. The prerequisite closer-than-ever monitoring by tumor marker early observation symptomatic changes.
