New Hope for Aggressive Prostate Cancer: Advances in Understanding and Treating Neuroendocrine Prostate Cancer Revolutionary diagnostic tools and promising new therapies offer renewed hope for patients with treatment-resistant disease What Patients Need to Know For most men with prostate cancer, treatments targeting the androgen receptor (AR) pathway—including hormone therapy and newer drugs like enzalutamide and abiraterone—are highly effective. However, as these treatments have become more successful, doctors have observed an important but concerning phenomenon: some cancers develop resistance by essentially changing their identity.
