Therapeutic options in advanced prostate cancer: present and future
Abstract:
Patients with advanced prostate cancer now have many treatment options available including first- and second-line hormonal therapy, radiotherapy, bisphosphonate therapy with zoledronic acid, and taxane-based chemotherapy. These options now give clinicians an opportunity to offer their patients symptomatic relief and most importantly improve overall survival. This article reviews the current treatment options available for men with advanced prostate cancer. In addition, novel treatment options under development, including calcitriol, immunotherapies, small molecule inhibitors, and nucleotide-based targeted therapy, are discussed.

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
