Prostate cancer patients who receive hormone therapy as part of their treatment are twice as likely to develop Alzheimer’s and face an increased risk of depression, a pair of recent studies has shown.
A common treatment for prostate cancer involves the use of androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) drugs, which reduce testosterone levels, which is required by prostate cancer cells so that they can grow and spread.
Two separate research projects focused on ADT drugs and discovered side effects other than those already associated with their use, such as weight gain, fatigue, reduced libido and sexual dysfunction.
