PSA reduction after Estrogen Patch Therapy

Here's a revised plot of PSA reduction due to castration from Estrogen Patch therapy. The previous version had the wrong time scale. That has been corrected in this version. The total time is 3 months, after which the PSA and testosterone both flatten out versus time.

I've also added the reference and cohort (1 patient).

Sorry about that...

Sorry I missed your reply...

Here's the reference. It's a good one:

nature.com/articles/ncponc0602

Click on the window labelled "FIGURES", to see FIG. 1.

I've also updated that plot with more accurate points. Here it is. It matches better the Morgantaler saturation model predictions.
