Abstract :
Prostate cancer (PC) is the most common malignancy
inmen(1, 2). Choosing the appropriate treatment is important,
especially in metastatic PC (3), and one of the treatments
that is used, is luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone
(LH-RH) agonist drugs that cause hormonal castration
and tumor deprivation (4). But, in some cases, patients
do not respond to this drugs and the level of testosterone
failed to drop. In these cases, we require the use of
other treatments (5, 6).
