Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is the main therapeutic approach for men with metastatic prostate cancer.
These agents can result in shrinkage of the prostate gland, can stop prostate cancer cells from growing for up to several years, and can relieve pain caused by prostate cancer that has spread or metastasized into the bones by shrinking the cancer. The use of ADT does not produce a cure.
