Video Transcript:
CancerBro, I was started on GnRH analogue, but my disease progressed on that. What aew the treatment options in such cases?
After some years of starting androgen deprivation therapy, PSA may start rising, or there may be a disease progression on scans. This state is called as castrate resistant prostate cancer.
If the patient has localised CRPC, then the treatment options are observation or androgen deprivaton therapy with a different agent that used previously.
And for metastatic CRPC, the treatment options are androgen deprivation therapy, chemotherapy, cancer vaccine or bone directed therapy.
CRPC is the disease which has progressed on GnRH analogues, so non GnRH analogues are used for the treatment, such as androgen receptor blackers or 17 hydroxylase inhibitors.
