- Abstract
The article presents a study on the association of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) with cardiovascular death in prostate cancer patients. The researchers reviewed EMBASE and MEDLINE citations between January 1, 1966 and April 11, 2011 as well as the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials database through April 11, 2011. They also used the Cochran Q statistic to assess the statistical heterogeneity among trials included in the meta-analysis. They found that ADT is associated with improved prostate cancer-specific survival and overall survival.
