Castration-resistant Prostate Cancer— Chemotherapies and Molecular Targets
نویسنده
چکیده
© Touch MEdical MEdia 2013 Abstract castration-resistant prostate cancer (cRPc) has a poor prognosis: current chemotherapeutic approaches ultimately result in resistance and are associated with survival rates of less than 2 years. however, the last decade has seen an expansion in the number of therapeutic options for cRPc and the regulatory approval of several agents, including the chemotherapy drug cabazitaxel and the targeted agents abiraterone acetate, enzalatumide, and denosumab. Novel targeted agents inhibit androgen receptor-mediated signaling, and nonhormonal targets, including apoptosis, signal transduction pathway inhibitors, angiogenesis, and bone and immune microenvironments. clinical trials of these agents, however, have demonstrated varied efficacy. among the drugs in clinical development, custirsen, cabozantinib, and dasatinib are among the most promising. There is a requirement for studies directly comparing agents, and for improved patient selection to identify patients benefitting from a particular therapy.

متن کاملThe Iranian Society of Nuclear Medicine practical guideline on radioligand therapy in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer using 177Lu-PSMA
Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is a type II transmembrane protein, which is anchored in the cell membrane of prostate epithelial cells. It is highly expressed on prostate epithelial cells and strongly up-regulated in prostate cancer. Although, 177Lu-PSMA has been recently introduced for radionuclide therapy of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) with co...
متن کاملSingle Orbital Metastasis in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer
Introduction: Orbital metastasis of prostate cancer (PC) is very rare and even more unique in castration-resistant PC (CRPC). In this scenario, choline positron emission tomography/computed tomography (choline PET/CT) is the gold-standard restaging method of choice available in our setting, and new anti-androgens treatments show improvement in overall survival. Case presentation: We report the...
