How long does it take to stop taking goserelin for prostate cancer

It is unclear how long it takes to stop taking goserelin after injecting it for prostate cancer, and there is no relevant clinical data to support this.

Prostate cancer refers to a malignant tumor that occurs in the prostate gland of men. It is caused by age, obesity, poor eating habits, abnormal hormone secretion, etc. After becoming ill, cancer cells will invade the prostate gland, leading to symptoms such as blood in the semen, erectile dysfunction, abnormal urination, and discomfort in the pelvic area. At this time, the patient needs to go to the hospital for examination in time to understand the size, shape, hardness, and presence of nodules of the prostate gland, and actively cooperate with the doctor for treatment. For early patients, surgical resection can be performed.

In addition, patients can also use goserelin for treatment as prescribed by their doctor. This drug is a synthetic analog of natural gonadotropin-releasing hormone. Long-term use can inhibit the secretion of gonadotropin, thereby causing a decrease in male serum testosterone. It can be used for hormone-treated prostate cancer. It is unclear how long this drug can be used before it can be stopped, and there is no relevant data to support it clinically.

If prostate cancer develops to the late stage, radiotherapy and chemotherapy can be used to kill cancer cells. Chemotherapy drugs include docetaxel, methotrexate, mitoxantrone, etc. During the treatment of the disease, patients should maintain a good mood, communicate more with family and friends, and actively cooperate with doctors.
