BACKGROUND
Some evidence indicates that androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) increases the risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. To date, few studies have investigated whether this therapy also increases the risk of cerebrovascular events.
OBJECTIVE
To determine whether different types of ADT
Gonadotrophin-releasing hormone agonists (GnRHAs) are used in many clinical conditions, particularly prostate cancer. There have been a few case reports of apoplexy from a previously undiagnosed pituitary tumour, occurring within hours to days of initiation of GnRHA therapy. We report a case of
We report here two cases of pituitary apoplexy or pseudoapoplexy revealing a gonadotroph adenoma. A 69-year-old man, who had just started antiandrogen treatment (Gn-RH agonist) for prostatic cancer, was admitted to neurosurgery emergency because of increasing headache and visual impairment. The
The aim of this article was to review the association between androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and the risk of stroke in patients with prostate cancer (PC). Thus, we performed this study to understand the impact of ADT on the incidence of stroke in PC BACKGROUND
Whether androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) leads to stroke morbidity is still unclear because of inconsistent evidence. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate if ADT used in men with prostate cancer (PCa) is associated with stroke.

Purpose: To conduct a population-based study to determine whether the use of GnRH agonist and antiandrogens are associated with an increased risk of cardio-cerebrovascular disease (CCVD) in Asian patients with prostate cancer using the National Health Insurance Service-Elderly Cohort Database
The mechanisms resulting in the greater predisposition of male subjects towards hypertension were investigated in different strains of rats with genetic hypertension [spontaneously hypertensive rats of the stroke-prone strain (SHRSP) and spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR)] and their respective
BACKGROUND
Upwards of 7% of cognitively impaired elderly are reported to exhibit sexually disinhibited behaviors. These behaviors may be the result of either a chronic history of sexual disinhibition, regression, or sequel to a stroke, surgical intervention, vascular insult, blow to the head, or
Observational studies suggested that androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is associated with an increased cardiovascular (CV) risk. They all compared ADT-treated cancer patients to non-treated patients or non-cancer subjects. Our aim was to evaluate whether CV risk differs by type of ADT.

Apoptosis, often synonymously used with the term 'programmed cell death', is an active, genetically controlled process that removes unwanted or damaged cells. Suppression, overexpression or mutation of a number of genes which orchestrate the apoptotic process are associated with disease. The
BACKGROUND
Previous studies indicate that androgen deprivation therapy for prostate cancer is associated with diabetes and cardiovascular disease among older men. We evaluated the relationship between androgen deprivation therapy and incident diabetes and cardiovascular disease in men of all ages
BACKGROUND
Whether androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for men with prostate cancer (PCa) increases the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains controversial. Pooled analyses using data from randomised controlled trials suggest no increased risk of fatal CVD following ADT, but no pooled analyses
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are still the highest leading cause of death worldwide. Several risk factors have been linked to CVDs, including smoking, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and gender among others. Sex hormones, especially the androgen and its receptor, androgen receptor (AR), have been linked
Transgender individuals receiving masculinising or feminising gender-affirming hormone therapy with testosterone or estradiol respectively, are at increased risk of adverse cardiovascular outcomes, including myocardial infarction and stroke. This may be related to the effects of Bromodomain and extra-terminal (BET) inhibitors, acting via epigenetic mechanisms, have been developed recently as potential new treatments for cancer, including prostate cancer, and inflammatory conditions. Some BET inhibitors, such as RVX-208, also raise high-density lipoprotein cholesterol
