ABSTRACT = {Two decades have passed since the concept of Maximal
Androgen Blockade (MAB) was first applied to the
clinical treatment of prostate cancer. The theory is that
by cutting off the supply of androgen from the adrenal
gland, androgen blockade of the prostate could be made
more complete. However, to date the clinical benefit of
MAB has failed to live up to the theoretically expected
effect. Having said that, fundamental research and
clinical trials in recent years do indicate that the benefit
of MAB is not merely an illusion.},
