For localized prostate cancer patients, do you routinely give antiandrogen therapy for patients receiving LHRH agonist therapy?
Do you prescribe antiandrogen beyond the typical 2-3 weeks after starting LHRH agonist therapy to prevent testosterone flare? If so, for how long do you prescribe it (i.e. 6 months, during RT, or total course of ADT)?
