LHRH analogues vs tE2 patches: Which work best for prostate cancer?

02 May 2025 by

The use of transdermal oestradiol (tE2) or oestrogen patches helps suppress testosterone and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in men with locally advanced prostate cancer, with similar efficacy to that of luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) analogues, reports a study presented at EAU 2025.

Primary stroke mechanism identification helps predict recurrent stroke risk

02 May 2025 by

In medically treated symptomatic intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (sICAS) patients, considering artery-to-artery embolism (AAE) rather than hypoperfusion as the stroke mechanism for cortical borderzone (CBZ) infarcts could better predict early recurrent stroke in the same territory (SIT), a study by the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) has found.
