Abstract

Androstenes/therapeutic use Humans Male Progesterone/metabolism Prostatic Neoplasms, Castration-Resistant/drug therapy Receptors, Androgen/genetics Steroid 17-alpha-Hydroxylase/antagonists & inhibitors
Tumor mechanisms of abiraterone resistance in clinical prostate cancer are not well defined. Chen and colleagues report that a T878A androgen receptor mutation occurs in a subset of patients progressing while receiving abiraterone, suggesting that this may be a therapeutically exploitable mechanism of abiraterone resistance in castration-resistant prostate cancer.
