Description preview

Though initially responsive to hormonal therapy, prostate cancer (PCa) invariably progresses to an incurable
metastatic castration-resistant state (mCRPC). Additionally, the proportion of patients with androgen receptor

(AR)-indifferent mCRPCe has increased significantly in the post-supracastration (e.g. -enzalutamide/-

abiraterone) era in men…
