ESMO 2024 | The future of transdermal estradiol in managing prostate cancer

Duncan Gilbert • 16 Sep 2024
ESMO 2024
Genitourinary Cancer Prostate Cancer

Duncan Gilbert, MA, MRCP, FRCR, PhD, University College London, London, UK, explores the potential of transdermal estradiol as a viable alternative to LH-RG analogs for androgen deprivation therapy in men with prostate cancer. The key benefits of transdermal estradiol include reduced hot flushes and improved long-term bone health, while noting that transdermal estradiol patches are not yet licensed for this indication. With positive oncological outcomes, there is hope for future integration within the NHS, providing men with prostate cancer an additional treatment option. This interview took place at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) 2024 Congress in Barcelona, Spain.
