The growth of prostate cancer is known to
be stimulated by the male (androgenic)
hormone, testosterone, and therefore the
early use of an anti-androgen (a drug
which blocks the testosterone receptor),
in addition to standard treatment, could
improve the outlook for men with prostate
cancer. Such medicine, anti-androgen
Casodex, reduces the risk of the cancer
progressing and reduces the risk of the
cancer spreading. And on the other side
Nolvadex is an anti-estrogen and is not
used to treat prostate cancer, but breast
cancer. So, you can't treat prostate
cancer with Nolvadex.
