Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is commonly used for the treatment of prostate cancer. For many undergoing ADT, hot flashes can affect and significantly reduce quality of life. Traditional medications for hot flashes are limited by both clinical effectiveness and side effects. In two case reports, ADT-induced hot flashes quickly resolved after a short course of a specific intravenous combination of vitamins and minerals. This therapeutic approach may have potential for the treatment of ADT-induced hot flashes.
雄激素剥夺疗法（ADT）常用于治疗前列腺癌。对于许多接受ADT治疗的患者来说，潮热会影响并显著降低生活质量。治疗潮热的传统药物在临床疗效和副作用方面都存在局限性。在两份病例报告中，特定静脉注射维生素和矿物质组合的短疗程治疗后，ADT引起的潮热迅速得到缓解。这种治疗方法可能对治疗ADT引起的潮热具有潜力。
