I was trying to find studies online which show , as some say , that antagonists like
Degarelix
are safer than agonists like lupron for the heart but am unable to find any conclusive studies. does anyone know of any ?

After 6 rounds of doxitacel, enzulamite and
degarelix
. The doctor has said chemo + immunotherapy. And given us 9-12 months. Is that really it ?

de novo metastatic prostate cancer
I’ve been on
degarelix
/Firmagon and Abiraterone for the past 3.5 months and it seems to be working well - just had my 3 month scans. And the terrible fatigue is under control. Anyone else on these two drugs? What’s your long term experience been? thanks Robert

Worry: Running Bounces Degarelix Stomach Depot
QUESTION: Is anyone aware that
the stomach subcutaneous
drug depot could be affected by jostling? There are lots of reasons why after a while people become castrate resistant.

Prostate Cancer (stage IV) identified in January and Small Cell Carcinoma (Neuro endocrine) in liver in August. Any suggestions?
He was put on Abiraterone and
Degarelix
. In August, PSA test showed that PSA had dropped to 2.7 and there was decrease in size and PSMA avidity of Prostate lesion. But, PSMA PET CT in August found mildly PSMA avid lesion in liver, which was not seen in the PSMA PET CT five months back.

Is Orgovyx as effective as Lupron/Degarelix ?
My Dad , 83 , with bone mets has started bicalutamide since a week and is soon to take the Lupron shot. But he has a fear of injections as many years back he has developed an abscess due to an injection wrongly given. Is orgovyx as effective as the injections in reducing testesterone ? One doctor

Increased risk of dementia with ADT, especially Degarelix?
Hi everyone, my first post! A friend sent me the below earlier. Looks worrying on the face of it. I'm not great with trial data, so would appreciate the views of those more knowledgeable, especially Tall_Allen. https://www.urotoday.com/conference-highlights/asco-2023/asco-2023-prostate-cancer/144860

PSA stabilizing to 99.30 (from 3103), should we seek additional treatment or wait?
He has a triplet therapy of
Degarelix
, Zytiga and Docetaxel, but he can't stand the pain of monthly
degarelix
injections so he's gonna switch to Tritptorelin every 3 months. I read that <1 PSA is the optimal point to reach, but also I know I can't ask for the sky when the initial PSA was so high.

Xtandi
Urologist started me on Xtandi and referred me to an Oncologist who started
Degarelix
injections. Oct 25, 2022 stopped taking Xtandi due to intolerable side effects; started Bicalutamide. PSA was 0.47 in Oct with gradual increase to 4.8 in Apr.

differences in Lupron and degarelix…
When Lupron begins to fail and
degarelix
is begun is it usually a favorable outcome?

Fever after the monthly degarelix shot
Hi All, My father has his
degarelix
and denosumab subcutaneous injections every 4 weeks as prescribed. Of late he has started getting fevers in the night on the day of the shot. The fever usually lasts for a day and resolves on its own.

CVD & GnRH agonists/antagonists
Buserelin, Goserelin, Leuprorelin & Triptorelin are GnRH agonists, whereas
Degarelix
is a GnRH antagonist.
