Extandi for prostate cancer: cancer has spread to my husbands lower back. will extandi it be able to stop further spreading?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hopefully: This antiandrogen medication in certain cases of metastatic prostate cancer can prevent further spread and/or reduced new metastatic involvement and slow the growth of prostate cancer. The oncologist knows much more about this medication than we other MDs do and can advise you best.
