The BLADE study prospectively evaluated changes in body composition after LHRH-antagonist. LHRH-antagonist therapy is associated to an increased risk of obesity and diabetes, but lean body mass and serum lipids are not affected. This may represent an additional evidence supporting the reduced cardiovascular risk associated with LHRH-antagonist. The role of FSH in influencing sarcopenic obesity in PCa after androgen deprivation deserves to be further explored.
