Abstract

For advanced prostate cancer - not including intermittent strategies - the patient is in continual treatment. The effect of the therapy must be controlled so that its failure can be determined as soon as possible and a new regimen started. As in most cases the progression of the disease can not be stopped, the aim of the therapy is to provide the patient with the best possible quality of life. In order to carry out therapy, if possible in the patient's usual environment, supportive therapies should be used, such as compensation for anaemia or pain therapy as required. Skeletal complications can be prophylactically treated by the use of biphosphonates.
