A large prostate cancer tumor significantly shrank with androgen deprivation therapy and radiation. This treatment reduced tumor size by 94% and relieved patient symptoms.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Urology

Background:

  • Prostate adenocarcinoma can present as a large, locally extensive tumor.
  • Advanced prostate cancer may cause significant symptoms like constipation and palpable masses.

Observation:

  • A massive prostate adenocarcinoma (2,246 ccm) was observed.
  • The tumor presented with symptoms of constipation and a palpable abdominal mass.

Findings:

  • Androgen deprivation therapy led to a 94% reduction in tumor size.
  • Combined hormonal therapy and radiation significantly reduced prostate-specific antigen levels from 4,029 to 0.4 ng/mL.
  • Treatment resulted in complete relief of presenting symptoms.

Implications:

  • Androgen deprivation therapy is effective for managing large, locally extensive prostate adenocarcinoma.
