The earliest works about this focused on the incidence and severity of COVID-19 depending on the intake of androgen deprivation therapy. At the same time, different classes of androgen deprivation therapy have different effects on androgen concentration that was not always considered in the analysis. In this regard, we conducted a review of the available literature data with a targeted study of works that included androgen deprivation therapy with a unidirectional effect on the concentration of male sex hormones. In addition, we conducted a review of studies focused on the relationship between COVID-19 and androgens (testosterone and dihydrotestosterone). |
