Androgen deprivation therapy is commonly used in combination with radiotherapy as part of the definitive treatment for men with clinically localized and locally advanced prostate cancer. Androgen deprivation has been associated with a wide range of iatrogenic effects impacting a variety of body systems including metabolic, musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, neurocognitive, and sexual. This review aims to provide the radiation oncology community with the knowledge to monitor and manage androgen deprivation therapy toxicity in an effort to provide the highest level of care for patients and to minimize the iatrogenic effects of androgen deprivation as much as possible.
雄激素剥夺疗法通常与放射疗法联合使用,作为临床局限性和局部晚期前列腺癌男性患者确定性治疗的一部分。雄激素剥夺与一系列医源性效应相关,这些效应会影响包括代谢、肌肉骨骼、心血管、神经认知和性功能在内的多种身体系统。本综述旨在为放射肿瘤学界提供相关知识,以监测和管理雄激素剥夺疗法的毒性,从而为患者提供最高水平的护理,并尽可能减少雄激素剥夺的医源性效应。
