Total Androgen Blockade in Prostate Cancer Hormone Therapy


Total androgen blockade is also and is a type of prostate cancer hormone therapy which combines an anti-androgen with either chemical castration or surgical castration. 90 to 95 percent testosterone is produced by the testicles while 5 to 10 percent is produced by the adrenal glands. Total androgen blockade ablates 100 percent of the testosterone present in the blood stream.
