CSPC
Term · Oncology and biomedicine · MLC-T-ONC-002158
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-dependent prostate cancer, androgen-sensitive prostate cancer, castrate-sensitive prostate cancer, hormone-sensitive prostate cancer, and HSPC.
