Introduction:
The 12th Annual 2025 Coffey-Holden Prostate Cancer Academy (CHPCA) Meeting, "Deciphering Resistance: Beyond the Androgen Paradigm," was held at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), Luskin Conference Center, in Los Angeles, CA, from June 19 to 22, 2025.
Methods:
The CHPCA Meeting is a discussion-focused conference held annually by the Prostate Cancer Foundation (PCF), for in-depth academic analysis of emerging research with the greatest potential to drive new understandings and treatments for prostate cancer. The 2025 CHPCA Meeting included attendance by 79 academic investigators and 39 talks over 8 sessions.
Results:
The session topics included: drug discovery in academia, non-apoptotic cell death mechanisms, understanding and overcoming treatment resistance, chromosomal instability (CIN) as a driver of metastasis and treatment resistance, targeting metastatic sites, immunotherapy sensitizers, and optimizing therapy delivery and biomedical engineering.
Discussion:
This meeting report summarizes the presentations from the 2025 CHPCA Meeting. We hope that disseminating this information will directly contribute to novel research efforts and improved treatment strategies for patients with prostate cancer.

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...
