Abstract
In case of biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomy, hormonal treatments are equally efficient. Early hormonal treatment after biochemical recurrence reduces specific mortality, local and metastatic progression. In locally advanced prostate cancer, adjuvant radiation therapy after biochemical recurrence reduces local and metastatic recurrence. Withdrawal of the steroid hormone should be the first maneuver after primary hormonal therapy failure. Second generation anti-androgens (abiraterone and MDV 3100) should be released soon. These new hormonal agents are in clinical trials and show promising activity in patients with CRPC.
