If the patient is older than 75 or ha...

The increased risk of cardiovascular mortality after androgen ablation data is mixed. In a pooled analysis of randomized trials in unfavorable-risk prostate cancer published in JAMA, ADT use was not associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular death but was associated with a lower risk of PCS...
