Abstract

Hormone-sensitive prostate cancer responds favorably to testosterone suppression induced by GnRH analogs or antagonists. This effect may theoretically be countered by anabolic steroids. We describe a patient of a recurrent hormone-sensitive prostate cancer who was on salvage androgen deprivation therapy with degarelix and developed rapid progression after over-the-counter nandrolone injections.
