WHEN YOU NEED MORE THAN YOUR CURRENT HORMONE THERAPY*
When you have prostate cancer, the testosterone in your body causes it to grow and spread. You may already be on a hormone therapy, such as Lupron Depot®, to bring your testosterone down to very low levels, but it may not be enough to keep the cancer from starting to grow again. When that happens, you may need to add another medication to the one you are already taking.
*Hormone therapy includes drug treatments or surgery that lowers testosterone.

WHAT IS NON-METASTATIC CASTRATION-RESISTANT PROSTATE CANCER (nmCRPC)?
The graphic below will help you to understand what nmCRPC means by explaining each part of the term separately.

RISING PSA LEVELS MEAN THAT YOUR CANCER COULD SPREAD
-
It is very important that your doctor monitors your PSA levels. Your PSA levels may rise even if you are on hormone therapy*
-
If your PSA levels rise, it means that your cancer is castration-resistant (CR). That means that the prostate cancer keeps growing even when the amount of testosterone in the body is reduced to very low levels
*Hormone therapy includes drug treatments or surgery that lowers testosterone.
WHY DOES DELAYING THE SPREAD OF CANCER MATTER?
When prostate cancer spreads to other parts of the body, it can cause symptoms like bone pain and worsen fatigue. It's important to talk to your doctor if you feel new symptoms.

TAKE ACTION to delay the spread of cancer to other parts
of your body.
