Abstract:Objective To investigate the efficacy and security of surgical castration combined intermittent hormonal therapy for the advanced prostate cancer. Methods From Aug. 2009 to Aug. 2014, 90 patients with advanced hormone-sensitive prostate cancer were divided into surgical and control groups according to the operation will. Surgical group contains 36 patients who received surgical castration combined intermittent hormonal therapy, and control group contains 54 patients who received intermittent hormonal therapy. The PSA level, quality of life scores, PFS time, OS time and side effects were collected and compared. Results The PSA level、quality of life scores, PFS time and OS time of patients in surgical group are better than those in control group (P < 0.05), while the incidence of asexuality is higher in the surgical group (P < 0.05). There is no significant difference of other side effects such as hot flashes, osteoporosis and pain in breast. Conclusions Surgical castration combined intermittent hormonal therapy is safe and effective for the advanced prostate cancer.
