Mechanisms for castration-resistance of prostate carcinoma / 中南大学学报(医学版)

ABSTRACT

Prostate cancer is the most prevalent male urogenital malignancy.The tumor cells are prone to castration-resistance after androgen deprivation therapy.Variation and reactivation of androgen receptor,and the change in the tumor microenvironment are the major pathological factors for development of castration-resistant prostate carcinoma (CRPC).Systematically analyzing and understanding the mechanisms for castration-resistance of prostate carcinoma will be significant for laying the basis for improvement of the strategies on precise treatment for CRPC.
