Has bipolar androgen therapy started treatment?

Recently I have read a lot about BAT. Testosterone treatment? Is it effective or could it be worse? When will it be available for public treatment? Thanks.

It may be useful in extending enzalutamide and in providing a vacation for a few select individuals, otherwise disappointing results.

From what I have read, the trials have been mixed, but relatively good. It definitely is said to improve Quality of Life, if that is a bigger concern for you. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articl...

Here's a very good "Patient's Guide to BAT Therapy" from the lead researcher at Johns Hopkins, Dr. Sam Denmeade. Many castrate-resistant men have had excellent, durable results (but, not all) with BAT therapy. It's not used for men with hormone-sensitive prostate cancer.

I never felt better when I was on BAT…Quality of life returned….Energy, Libido, etc…After 7 months PSA went up..,I’m in the process now of lowering my PSA so I can start BAT again….QOL is more important to me than just existing….
