Arbiraterone and prostate cancer
Question
I have prostrate cancer and was reading in my newpaper about a new drug treatment. I cannot find the paper with the name of drug. It was a very expensive drug, 10,000.00 per month. I asked my doctor if he had knowledge of it. He did not. So, I am looking for the name of drug.
Answer
I suspect the name of the drug you are seeking is Arbiraterone. It is questionable whether it is better than Hydrocortisone 20 mg b.d. Both drugs will only work in patients who have been orchidectomised or who are on an LHRH agonist.
