Compliance with hormonal treatment for prostate cancer.
Compliance is an important factor when choosing drug therapy for chronic illnesses such as prostate cancer. Antiandrogens can be used, either in combination with medical castration or as monotherapy, to treat prostate cancer. In selecting appropriate therapy, drug-related factors which might influence compliance need to be considered.
