Abstract
Sex-related differences in bladder cancer incidence and progression infer a role for sex hormones and their cognate receptors in this disease. In part due to the oncogenic role of androgen receptor signaling in prostate cancer, the focus of most preclinical and clinical research to-date has been on the potential pro-tumorigenic action of androgens in urothelial cancers. However, clinical studies of androgen receptor antagonism have yielded minimal success. In this review, we explore the tumor suppressor role of androgen receptor in bladder cancer and discuss how it might be harnessed therapeutically.
