- Title
Androgen Deprivation Therapy for Localized Prostate Cancer and the Risk of Cardiac Death.
- Authors
Tsai, Henry K.
- Abstract
The article focuses on a study on the association between androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for localized prostate cancer and the risk of cardiac death after adjusting for age and coronary artery disease. The research revealed that the increase in risk of cardiac death linked to ADT is significant in older patients but not in younger men when analyzed by age. The findings indicate the need for cardiac assessment and treatment of men who may be planning to take ADT for prostate cancer.
