tcm + goserelin acetate + bicalutamide

This is a combination therapy consisting of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), goserelin acetate, and bicalutamide. Goserelin acetate is a synthetic analogue of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) that acts as an agonist at pituitary GnRH receptors, leading to downregulation of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), resulting in decreased testosterone production. Bicalutamide is a non-steroidal antiandrogen that blocks the action of androgens by binding to androgen receptors in prostate tissue. TCM refers to herbal or traditional formulations used adjunctively; specific compositions may vary but are generally aimed at supporting immune function and reducing side effects associated with hormonal therapy. This combination has been studied primarily for advanced prostate cancer, where it aims to improve clinical efficacy, delay disease progression, enhance immune function, reduce inflammatory markers, and mitigate adverse effects associated with long-term hormonal therapy[1][2].
