Switching from an LHRH Antagonist to an LHRH Agonist: A Case Report of 10 Finnish Patients with Advanced Prostate Cancer

摘要

IntroductionLuteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) analogues are widely used for the treatment of advanced hormone-dependent prostate cancer. However, there are currently no clinical guidelines for switching between LHRH analogues. It has been reported that there may be clinical benefits for patients switching between different formulations of LHRH agonists, as well as from an LHRH agonist to LHRH antagonist, but there are no published data on switching from an LHRH antagonist to an LHRH agonist. In this paper, we summarize the clinical notes of 10 patients with hormone-sensitive advanced prostate cancer who switched from an LHRH antagonist to an LHRH agonist.
