{
  "id": "MLC-T-ONC-000523",
  "term": "Androgen-dependent prostate cancer",
  "field": "Oncology and biomedicine",
  "definition": "Prostate cancer that needs androgens (male hormones) to grow and therefore stops growing when androgens are not present. Many early-stage prostate cancers are androgen-dependent, so reducing the amount of androgens in the body or blocking their action may be an effective type of therapy. Also called androgen-sensitive prostate cancer, castrate-sensitive prostate cancer, CSPC, hormone-sensitive prostate cancer, and HSPC.",
