Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is the main therapeutic approach for men with metastatic prostate cancer.
Testosterone is also important for overall good health. It helps the growth of bones and muscles, and affects mood, libido (sex drive) and certain aspects of mental ability. The growth of both normal cells in the prostate gland and prostate cancer cells rely on male hormones (androgens), particularly testosterone. Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) acts by either stopping testosterone production or by blocking the action of testosterone on the cells and tissues.
