Oncologist,  's  Response
Hi Rajeev, ketoconazole is good old drug. We have lot of drugs available in the basket. Has it spread to bones? In prostate cancer , even in last stage, we can prolong the survival while maintaining the good quality of life. Instead of osteophos, zolendronic acid works well. Best is to see a medical oncologist. Take care.
