I'm no expert, but it is my understanding that Triple Blockade typically involves the following categories:

1. LHRH agonists to stop the testicles from producing testosterone,e.g.,
Lupron,Zolodex,Firmagon et. al.
2. Anti-androgens that decrease the cancer cell's ability to use testosterone e.g., Casodex,Eulexin, et. al.
3. 5-alpha reductise inhibiters to reduce the production of dihydrotestosterone a breakdown product of testosterone.
FYI Dr. Bob Liebowitz has a website which allows you to access his protocols including Triple Blockade ---Google: "Compassionate Oncology Group".
