RESUMEN
El cáncer de próstata (CaP) tiene una elevada prevalencia en nuestro medio, afectando principalmente a adultos mayores. Gracias a las mediciones del antígeno prostático específico (APE) y a la exploración física, se diagnostica este cáncer en etapas más tempranas ofreciendo tratamientos con fines curativos. Sin embargo, los pacientes con enfermedad avanzada están sujetos a terapia paliativa, cuyo objetivo es disminuir los síntomas y la progresión de la enfermedad. El bloqueo androgénico sea quirúrgico o farmacológico constituye la piedra angular de esta intervención terapéutica, aplicado en sus diferentes modalidades y esquemas. El bloqueo androgénico farmacológico incluye una gran variedad de fármacos que tienen mecanismos de acción diferentes, entre los cuales se incluyen: compuestos estrogénicos, antiandrógenos (esteroideos y no esteroideos), agonistas LH-RH, antagonistas LH-RH e inhibidores de la esteroideogénesis. Estos grupos farmacológicos poseen ventajas y desventajas en cuanto a sus efectos, eficacia, reacciones adversas medicamentosas, así como a su corto a largo plazo. Por lo anterior, es importante que el tratamiento para el CaP sea individualizado de acuerdo a las necesidades de los pacientes. La constante investigación en este tema ha desarrollado otras alternativas terapéuticas (inmunoterapia y quimioterapia), se está trabajando en nuevos blancos terapéuticos en el tratamiento del CaP.
