ABSTRACT
Androgen deprivation therapy is one of the main treatments for prostate cancer patients. In recent years, many studies have revealed that androgen deprivation therapy increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, which leads to the cause of death alongside tumor-related deaths. The mechanism may be related to the elevation of testosterone levels, follicle-stimulating hormone levels and unstable atherosclerotic plaque. Standardized cardiovascular disease management in this population is a key issue to improve survival and prognosis. This paper summarizes a management plan covering 5 areas, including history collecting and data examination, assessment, referral, health education, and regimen selection.
