PSA reduction by Estrogen Patch (revised)

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 flattened out versus time. I've also added the reference and cohort (1 patient).

Sorry about that...

Hopefully the UK PATCH study will release more data like this for more individuals. I've looked elsewhere for similar data and found nothing.

Here are the two source curves that I used to make this combination third plot. It's the only one I could find. It's interesting to note that the lower plot's Y-axis is relative % change in PSA, rather than absolute PSA numbers.
