Target number of participants: 5
Treatments
Experimental: treatment
After the baseline imaging with FES- and FDHT-PET is completed, tamoxifen 20mg 1dd1 (standard dosage) plus testosterone (Androgel®) will be started. The first 3 patients will receive 25mg testosterone once daily (half the standard starting dosage for male hypogonadism). If this is well tolerated after 3 weeks, the dosage will be increased to 50mg once daily. Out of precaution, the safety profile of the 50mg dosage in the first 3 patients will be evaluated after all 3 patients have received 50mg testosterone for 2 cycli (8 weeks), prior to proceeding to the next 3 patients. Patients will be treated with tamoxifen and testosterone until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
