Context: Treatment Option Overview for Prostate Cancer / Hormonal Therapy and Its Complications
Abiraterone acetate has been shown to improve OS when added to ADT in men with advanced prostate cancer who have castration-sensitive disease. Abiraterone acetate is generally well-tolerated; however, it is associated with an increase in the mineralocorticoid effects of grade 3 or 4 hypertension and hypokalemia compared with ADT alone.[100] It may also be associated with a small increase in respiratory disorders.[101]
