We assessed the effects of antiandrogen therapy on ECG parameters of ventricular repolarization related to arrhythmic risk in 35 patients aged 70.3 ± 7 years with advanced prostate cancer treated with degarelix associated with enzalutamide (group A, 26 patients) or degarelix monotherapy (group B, 9
Purpose: To conduct a population-based study to determine whether the use of GnRH agonist and antiandrogens are associated with an increased risk of cardio-cerebrovascular disease (CCVD) in Asian patients with prostate cancer using the National Health Insurance Service-Elderly Cohort Database
The effect of androgen deprivation and other hormonal therapies, radiation therapy, thermal ablation therapies, chemotherapy, and other systemic treatments is evident in the histology of non-neoplastic and neoplastic human prostate gland. Androgen deprivation may be achieved with: a. orchidectomy,
OBJECTIVE
The efficacy of weekly high-dose paclitaxel in androgen-independent prostate carcinoma and its cytotoxic synergy with estramustine led to the evaluation of a weekly schedule of paclitaxel and estramustine in this Phase II trial.
METHODS
Patients were eligible if they had metastatic
Observational studies suggested that androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is associated with an increased cardiovascular (CV) risk. They all compared ADT-treated cancer patients to non-treated patients or non-cancer subjects. Our aim was to evaluate whether CV risk differs by type of ADT.
Through
Apoptosis, often synonymously used with the term 'programmed cell death', is an active, genetically controlled process that removes unwanted or damaged cells. Suppression, overexpression or mutation of a number of genes which orchestrate the apoptotic process are associated with disease. The
Aldosterone plays an important role in the harmful cardiac remodeling process and pathophysiology of heart failure after a myocardial infarction. Until recently, spironolactone (Aldactone) was the only pharmacologic agent available to directly block the deleterious effects of aldosterone. The use of
OBJECTIVE
To assess the relationship between the occurrence of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), an androgen-dependent disease, and coronary artery disease (defined as history of coronary artery bypass grafting, coronary angioplasty, myocardial infarction) in elderly men.
METHODS
Retrospective
Purpose: To evaluate and compare the incidence of cardiovascular (CV) events in a large contemporary cohort of patients diagnosed with prostate cancer (PCa) and in treatment with GnRH agonists or GnRH antagonists.
Patients and
BACKGROUND
Previous studies indicate that androgen deprivation therapy for prostate cancer is associated with diabetes and cardiovascular disease among older men. We evaluated the relationship between androgen deprivation therapy and incident diabetes and cardiovascular disease in men of all ages
BACKGROUND
Whether androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for men with prostate cancer (PCa) increases the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains controversial. Pooled analyses using data from randomised controlled trials suggest no increased risk of fatal CVD following ADT, but no pooled analyses
BACKGROUND
Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is used to delay tumour development and improve survival in patients with prostate cancer. However, several randomized controlled trials and observational studies have suggested that ADT may increase the risk of cardiovascular events.
OBJECTIVE
The aim
Transgender individuals receiving masculinising or feminising gender-affirming hormone therapy with testosterone or estradiol respectively, are at increased risk of adverse cardiovascular outcomes, including myocardial infarction and stroke. This may be related to the effects of Prostate cancer that progresses after enzalutamide treatment is poorly responsive to further antiandrogen therapy, and paradoxically, rapid cycling between high and low serum testosterone concentrations (bipolar androgen therapy [BAT]) in this setting might induce tumour responses. We aimed to
