When considering for “hormone-refractory” prostate cancer, one must ensure that cancer really resistant to impact castration. Adrenal androgens contribute hormonal environment, so some tumors appear be or refractory castrate, testoster-one-depleted setting, may actually receiving stimulation from adrenal hormones, and will thus respond second-line blockers, such as aminoglutethimide ketoconazole. These remissions sometimes sustained months years.
