A radical prostatectomy is an operation to remove the prostate gland and some of the tissue around it. Radical prostatectomy is major surgery performed under general or regional anesthesia. This operation may be done by open surgery or by laparoscopic surgery through small incisions.
Two non-steroidal antiandrogens, designated MDV3100 and RD162, may be useful treatment for castration-resistant prostate cancer, Dr. Sawyers' team identified MDV3100 and RD162, diarylthiohydantoin compounds that remain active against the malignancy even in the face of elevated androgen receptor expression.
Testing in murine models of human castration-resistant prostate cancer, the authors found that RD162 and MDV3100 promoted tumor regression.
"While preliminary, these clinical data appear promising and validate the persistent role of androgen receptor in driving castration-resistant disease," the authors conclude.
