摘要
Combined androgen blockade is a controversial topic, which has arguments both for and against. It is revisited by the authors of this mini-review, with a full discussion on the benefits and cautions with this approach. A wide range of other issues is also addressed in this section: bilateral testicular cancer, male-factor infertility, and buccal mucosa urethroplasty. All of these are of interest to general urologists, as well as to those with a more specific area of interest.
