Partial Take Away:

ADT use may have an immunological benefit during the pandemic

If you are on continuous ADT, stay on it. This is true even if ADT has been augmented with Zytiga and prednisone, or anti-androgens.Those taking Zytiga with prednisone needn't worry because the prednisone is only a replacement dose, and is not large enough to be immunosuppressant. Because of negative feedback, it is more dangerous to take too little prednisone.

If you are on intermittent ADT, this might be a good time to end your ADT vacation.

Men using Bipolar Androgen Therapy on a clinical trial should discuss the timing with the trial investigator. Anyone taking supraphysiologic doses of testosterone should consider this as well.

If you are taking adjuvant ADT after radiation, or neoadjuvant ADT before radiation consider sticking with it a little

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.
