Abstract

The article reports on the use of androgen deprivation therapy for the treatment of prostate cancer and whether it causes dementia. It mentions previous studies which have found an increased risk, the present study which found no real correlation, and discusses the need to study men who have had an orchiectomy or who are on GnRh agonists.
