A member asked:
My husband zoladex (goserelin) inj but now doctors advise him to remove testis,is it safe for him in this age and is he cure by this surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Safe, not curative: Zoladex (goserelin) is a drug which prevents the testicles from making testosterone, used to treat advanced prostate cancer. Prostate ca cells thrive in the presence of testosterone. Surgical removal of the testicles accomplishes the same purpose. Neither CURES metastatic prostate ca. Recent study suggests that patients with metastatic prostate ca do better with hormonal therapy + drug docetaxel.
