following exterrnal beam radiation, and seed implant, how long can or should a patient continue the eligard injections? are there benefits for continued use? I am currently receiving a 45 mg dose, every 6 months.

It has been shown that continued therapeutic doses will continue to inhibit the gonadatropin secretion.

As to how long you need to continue, that is something you should discuss with your doctor, I really don't have any specific information on that.

Have they said anything about it?
