title: [Hormone therapy in advanced and generalized carcinoma of the prostate].
abstract: The prostate grows and functions within a multihormonal environment. It consists of androgens, oestrogens, gonadotrophins, gonadotrophin-releasing hormones and gestagens. Growth factors are produced under the influence of androgen stimulation. We show all possibilities of androgen deprivation of advanced and metastatic prostate cancer.
