Androgen receptor targeting drugs in castration‐resistant prostate cancer and mechanisms of resistance
2 Sept 2015
Abstract excerpt
Reactivated androgen receptor (AR) signaling drives castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). The novel AR targeting drugs abiraterone and enzalutamide have improved survival of CRPC patients. However, resistance to these agents develops and patients ultimately succumb to CRPC. Potential mechanisms of resistance include the following: 1) Expression of AR splice variants, such as the AR-V7 isoform, which lacks...
