Abstract:
Androgen deprivation therapy is widely used in combination with radiotherapy for the treatment of prostate cancer. The knowledge of the biology of the androgen axis could help the radiation oncologist to combine both modalities in an efficient way. Moreover, new drugs have recently been approved and their role in combination with radiation needs pre-clinical and clinical studies. This review summarized the main data on the biology of androgen receptor and the potential implications for the physician. Mechanisms of interactions between androgen deprivation therapy and radiotherapy are also presented and 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...
