Treatment With Darolutamide +/- Radiation Therapy for Patients With a Castration Resistant Cancer and Metastases Detected by Functional Imaging
In earlier stages of prostate cancer, male sexual hormones (androgens) stimulate the growth of cancer cells. Castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) means that the prostate cancer continued to grow despite patients are taking hormone therapy to control the disease. One of the standard treatments for these patients is so-called 'new generation' hormonal therapy. These hormone therapies include apalutamide, enzalutamide, or darolutamide. They work by blocking androgen receptors that play an important role in the growth of prostate cancer.
In the case of oligometastatic CRPC, the cancer has
