Abstract
Degarelix is effective for prostate downsizing before prostate brachytherapy with a median volume decrease of 26.2% by 8 weeks. Despite the short course of treatment and eventual testosterone recovery, follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone remain elevated beyond 12 months. Further investigation with randomized comparisons to other hormonal agents is warranted.
