Abstract
Endocrine treatment of prostate cancer can be performed under several different regimes. They all have side effects which in different ways influence quality of life and the patient's general health. This paper is a survey of the most important early side effects of the different modes of endocrine treatment, their etiology, and possible ways to avoid or treat them.
