What does adt therapy mean?

ADT treatment stands for androgen deprivation therapy, which is the use of surgery or drugs to achieve a depot effect, and is currently the cornerstone and standard method of prostate cancer treatment. Traditional androgen deprivation therapy includes testicular resection surgical deprivation as well as drug deprivation such as luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone, luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone agonist or antagonist goserelin, leuprolide and other drugs, which can improve the prognosis of patients with prostate cancer by lowering the level of serum testosterone and inhibiting the androgen pathway. When androgen deprivation therapy is needed, you should go to a regular hospital and choose the appropriate treatment plan under the guidance of the doctor.
