Role of Androgen Deprivation in Patients Undergoing Radical Prostatectomy

Radical prostatectomy (RP) as a monotherapy is most likely to be curative only in patients with truly organ-confined PC. Several clinical and pathologic factors affect recurrence following RP. In an effort to improve the outcome Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) has been evaluated in conjunction with RP. In this review we summarize the available evidence from prospective randomized studies concerning the use of ADT in both the preoperative and postoperative scenarios.
