Summary

Cyproterone acetate (CPA) is a steroidal antiandrogen which has affinity with progesterone and with glucocorticoid receptors. Cyproterone acetate is long-term proven effective treatment of inoperable carcinoma of the prostate.

Sexual functions remain very important in men with prostate cancer. However sexual functions are deteriorating fast with course of the disease.
