Abstract
In the management of advanced prostatic cancer, available treatments are reviewed. Preliminary results of several studies show a better response to complete androgen blockade than to conventional treatments. Prostatic tumour consists of androgen-dependent and -independent cells, and the continued growth of the latter, following androgen ablation, results in relapse.Keywords
