英国的一项大型临床试验发现,雌激素贴片对局部晚期前列腺癌同标准注射一样有效. A large UK clinical trial found that estradiol patches are as effective as standard injections for locally advanced prostate cancer. 虽然这些贴片同样有效地预防癌症的进展, 但它们却少引起热和骨折等副作用. While equally effective at preventing cancer progression, the patches caused fewer side effects like hot flushes and bone fractures. 研究人员说,这些贴片提供了一个方便的家庭替代品,可以改善生活质量, 尽管它们尚未在英国获得前列腺癌使用许可. Researchers say the patches offer a convenient, home-based alternative that could improve quality of life, though they are not yet licensed for prostate cancer use in the UK.
