Abstract

Patients who develop castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPCa) typically continue on androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). Whether these patients need to remain on ADT has not been well studied. We conducted a multicenter randomized trial to compare an intermittent versus continuous approach to ADT in CRPCa patients. Overall survival, health-related quality of life (QOL), and cost were the main endpoints.
