Maximal Suppression of T is Clinically Meaningful
• ADT effect is androgen deprivation of the
tumour
• Block stimulation of tumour
• lower T to castrate levels MED
• add antiandrogen to block AR
• Newer targeting agents lower
T activity at the AR by LOW HIGH
• Inhibition of T synthesis
• Inhibition of receptor binding Testosterone Levels
Androgen deprivation of the tumour requires a strong foundation of ADT
