Abstract
Bipolar androgen therapy (BAT) is effective in a subset of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) patients. Treatment selection biomarkers are needed due to other therapies that can be equally efficacious. We performed post-hoc analysis to determine whether baseline serum testosterone (T) is a treatment selection marker in the TRANSFORMER study, a randomized trial of abiraterone-pretreated mCRPC patients assigned to BAT (n = 94) or enzalutamide (n = 101). The findings suggest that patients with poor outcomes to abiraterone and serum T ≥ 20 ng/dL may benefit preferentially from BAT over enzalutamide. Baseline testosterone could be considered in the treatment selection process when BAT is an option.
期刊介绍：
Prostate Cancer and Prostatic Diseases covers all aspects of prostatic diseases, in particular prostate cancer, the subject of intensive basic and clinical research world-wide. The journal also reports on exciting new developments being made in diagnosis, surgery, radiotherapy, drug discovery and medical management.
Prostate Cancer and Prostatic Diseases is of interest to surgeons, oncologists and clinicians treating patients and to those involved in research into diseases of the prostate. The journal covers the three main areas - prostate cancer, male LUTS and prostatitis.
Prostate Cancer and Prostatic Diseases publishes original research articles, reviews, topical comment and critical appraisals of scientific meetings and the latest books. The journal also contains a calendar of forthcoming scientific meetings. The Editors and a distinguished Editorial Board ensure that submitted articles receive fast and efficient attention and are refereed to the highest possible scientific standard. A fast track system is available for topical articles of particular significance.
