Emerging Therapeutic Targets of Neuroendocrine Prostate Cancer
摘要
Treatment-emergent neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC) is aggressive and lethal. As androgen receptor signaling inhibitors (ARSIs) are increasingly used in earlier disease settings, treatment-emergent NEPC becomes more prevalent, and effective therapies are urgently needed. The purpose of this review was to summarize recent progress on emerging therapeutic targets of NEPC.
Recent FindingsA multitude of therapeutic targets have emerged in NEPC over recent years. These targets may represent drivers of treatment-emergent lineage plasticity or simply be overexpressed on the surface of NEPC cells. Multiple modalities have been employed to drug these targets, with promising preclinical and clinical results.
SummaryTreatment-emergent NEPC represents a distinct and clinically significant subset of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Emerging therapeutic approaches have demonstrated encouraging efficacy and safety profiles, offering the potential to improve patient outcomes.
