Androgen Receptor Variants Mediate DNA Repair after Prostate Cancer Irradiation
28 Jul 2017
Abstract excerpt
Abstract In prostate cancer, androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) enhances the cytotoxic effects of radiotherapy. This effect is associated with weakening of the DNA damage response (DDR) normally supported by the androgen receptor. As a significant number of patients will fail combined ADT and radiotherapy, we hypothesized that DDR may be driven by androgen receptor splice variants (ARV) induced by ADT....
