ABSTRACT
This is a case report of 3 patients who had a dramatic and long-term complete response after antiandrogen withdrawal. All 3 patients were diagnosed with advanced or metastatic prostate cancer with a high prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level. For all patients, we started combined androgen blockade as androgen deprivation therapy and the PSA concentration decreased to <0.1 ng/mL, but then started to increase. After discontinuation of antiandrogen the PSA concentration decreased again and has remained below the limit of sensitivity for more than 1 year in all 3 patients.
