“Maintaining bone health by estrogen therapy in patients with advanced prostate cancer: a narrative review”
/in News, PublicationsPantarhei Oncology proudly announces that its paper “Maintaining bone health by estrogen therapy in patients with advanced prostate cancer: a narrative review” “Maintaining bone health by estrogen therapy in patients with advanced prostate cancer: a narrative review” has been published in the journal Endocrine Connections after comprehensive review. This journal is an international peer-reviewed, scientific, open access journal in the field of endocrinology.
In this paper we review the new and safer estrogen therapies, including high dose estetrol (HDE4), to maintain bone mass and prevent fractures in advanced prostate cancer patients treated with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT).
Estetrol Prevents Hot Flushes and Improves Quality of Life in Patients with Advanced Prostate Cancer Treated with Androgen Deprivation Therapy: The PCombi Study
/in News, PublicationsPantarhei Oncology proudly announces that its paper ‘Estetrol Prevents Hot Flushes and Improves Quality of Life in Patients with Advanced Prostate Cancer Treated with Androgen Deprivation Therapy: The PCombi Study’ has been published in the journal European Urology Open Science after comprehensive review. This journal is an international peer-reviewed, scientific, open access journal in the field of urology.
This paper summarises the very important data on the beneficial effects of high dose estetrol (HDE4) on the Quality of Life of prostate cancer patients treated with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT).

Pantarhei Oncology has developed a new concept for the endocrine treatment of locally infiltrating and/or metastatic prostate cancer in collaboration with two renowned Dutch urologists, Prof. Frans Debruyne, formerly at the Radboud UMC, Nijmegen and Prof. Jeroen van Moorselaar, Free University, Amsterdam. This collaboration has resulted in the performance of the prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled PCombi study in four Dutch urology centers by Dr. Erik Roos (Sneek), Dr. Rik Somford (Nijmegen), Dr. Ton Roeleveld (Alkmaar) and Dr. Tjard de Haan (Zwolle) in men with advanced prostate cancer, who started androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) with a luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist to suppress testosterone levels. Major side effects of ADT are loss of libido and sexual function, but since the loss of testosterone also implies the loss of testosterone derived estrogens, especially estradiol (E2), most side effects of ADT are related to estrogen deficiency. These side effects are the same as the symptoms of estrogen deficiency occurring in postmenopausal women and include hot flushes and sweatings, joint pain (arthralgia), sleep disturbances, mood changes and depression, fatigue, loss of energy, muscle weakness (sarcopenia), cognition problems, bone loss and an increased fracture risk with, especially in aging males, a higher risk of mortality.
The results of the Phase II PCombi study were recently published in the European Urology Open Science. The study has demonstrated several significant estrogen supplmentation and biochemical anti-tumor effects. Patients treated with E4 had fewer symptoms of estrogen deficiency than patients treated with placebo. The high dose E4 treatment was well-tolerated with no treatment-related cardiovascular adverse events.
