It is administered as a subcutaneous powder injection for hormone-sensitive cancers and benign prostatic conditions. The drug treats prostate cancer, benign prostatic hyperplasia, and hematologic malignancies including leukemia, multiple myeloma, myelodysplastic syndrome, and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
