After the initiation of androgen suppression in men with prostate cancer, the serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level generally declines. A subsequent PSA rise during that suppression usually reflects the presence of a significant component of hormonally refractory prostate cancer. We report a patient with a rising PSA level and elevated testosterone level after depot leuprolide in whom the PSA level subsequently declined with administration of bicalutamide.
在对前列腺癌男性患者开始雄激素抑制治疗后,血清前列腺特异性抗原(PSA)水平通常会下降。在该抑制过程中随后出现的PSA升高通常反映存在激素难治性前列腺癌的重要成分。我们报告了一名患者,其在使用长效亮丙瑞林后PSA水平升高且睾酮水平升高,而在给予比卡鲁胺后PSA水平随后下降。
