摘要

Prostate-specific antigen-based screening and increased public awareness of prostate cancer have led to earlier detection of localised and potentially curable tumour stages. Nevertheless, disease recurrence after radical treatment of prostate cancer remains a problem for a considerable number of patients. Endocrine therapy plays a role in the treatment of almost all stages of prostate cancer, either as definitive or as temporary therapy. Neoadjuvant hormonal treatment has its place mainly in the external beam radiotherapy setting, where it reduces target volume and adverse effects. When used prior to and during external beam radiotherapy, endocrine therapy has shown a survival advantage in the subset of patients with locally advanced prostate cancer (cT2-4, N0-1, M0) with Gleason scores 2-6. Several studies have shown that adjuvant endocrine treatment is able to delay disease progression in any stage. There is, however, an ongoing controversy regarding the possible survival benefit of such treatment that has to be balanced against its considerable adverse effects and costs. Survival improvements associated with adjuvant hormonal treatments have mainly been seen in patients with lymph node metastases or those with a high probability of micrometastatic disease. Several large studies are under way to investigate the role of adjuvant treatment in the field of early prostate cancer.
