The Winds of Change: Emerging Therapeutics in Prostate Cancer.
Review
Overview
abstract
The last decade has seen substantial advances in androgen receptor targeting in prostate cancer. In addition, advances have been made in immunotherapy and radiopharmaceutical-based therapy, although their optimal use in the clinic remains unclear. Recent understanding of the relevance and actionability of DNA damage repair mutations in a considerable minority of patients with prostate cancer is likely to open up a new frontier in prostate cancer therapeutics. As androgen receptor-directed therapy moves earlier in the disease process for prostate cancer, advances in these nonandrogen receptor-based therapeutics may take on greater significance in the years to come.
