Objectives: This study set out to examine the efficacy and tolerability of two innovative implant forms of leuprorelin acetate in men with advanced hormone-dependent prostate cancer in everyday clinical practice.

Methods: Data were collected from 818 patients (from 273 centers across Germany) who were pretreated with slow-release luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist formulations and who were about to be switched to the leuprorelin implants. Patients received three injections of 1- or 3-month leuprorelin implant and physicians were asked to complete a case report form specific to each of the three clinic visits.
