摘要: Since the development and growth of prostate cancer is highly dependent on androgens, androgen deprivation therapy continues to be treatment choice for patients with advanced cancer. The very effective, but responses are often short-lived. We describe here a novel molecular mechanism that may explain why cells become resistant hormonal therapy. Amplification receptor (AR) gene was found selected during in 23% who experienced local tumor recurrence. leads increased expression AR gene, which enables more effectively utilize residual low levels androgens sustaining cell growth. Discovery amplification as possible resistance should prove useful effective endocrine regimens well diagnostic predictive tests failure.
