Understanding Intermittent Hormone Therapy For #ProstateCancer

Here’s another informative video about hormone therapy from the Prostate Cancer Research Institute. It answered some of the questions that I had from the previous video. Specifically:

  • Participants in the study were not on continuous hormone therapy as I wrongly inferred from the summary.
  • It is possible to do PSMA PET scans while on a break from hormone therapy if the PSA rises to detectable levels (>1.0 ng/mL).
  • Time to the cancer becoming resistant to the intermittent combination hormone therapy if started in a timely manner can be up to 17 to 18 years.
