摘要: The androgen receptor drives the growth of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. This has led to development multiple novel drugs targeting this hormone-regulated transcription factor, such as enzalutamide – a potent antagonist. Despite plethora possible treatment options, absolute survival benefit each separately is limited few months. Therefore, current research efforts are directed determine optimal sequence therapies, discover effective in cancer and define patient subpopulations that ultimately from these treatments. Molecular studies provide evidence on which pathways mediate resistance may lead improved for review provides, firstly concise overview clinical development, use effectiveness advanced cancer, secondly it describes translational addressing response vs lastly highlights potential strategies enzalutamide-resistant setting.
