Eligard is used for prostate cancer which are not radically resected with surgery and in cases of advanced and metastatic cancer. Unfortunately,it can't lead to complete cure and it will not reduce psa to 0, but it will slow down tumor progression and prolong life expectancy. each man reacts differently and in some there is very good effect so that psa may be steady for months or even years wish you good health.
