Prostate cancer is the most common malignancy in men, mostly affecting older men who harbor an increased prevalence of cardiovascular disease and metabolic syndrome. Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), the standard therapy for various stages of prostate cancer, further increases the risk for cardiovascular disease and for metabolic syndrome. Therefore, screening for cardiovascular risk factors should be performed prior to the initiation of ADT, and, if necessary, cardiological evaluation and interdisciplinary management should be provided during and after completion of ADT. Moreover, the use of a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist may help reduce cardiovascular risk in patients with cardiovascular disease.
