Abarelix is ​​used to treat prostate cancer.
In vitro and in vivo studies:
In in vitro experiments, abarelix can significantly inhibit the activity of GnRH receptors.
In vivo studies, abarelix was able to effectively reduce testosterone levels and inhibit the growth of prostate cancer.
In clinical applications, abarelix is ​​used to treat advanced prostate cancer.
