A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis on the Predictive Value of Cell-Free DNA–Based Androgen Receptor Copy Number Gain in Patients With Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer

TL;DR: This data indicates that androgen receptor copy number gain detected in cell-free DNA (cfDNA) can predict treatment response to androgen receptors signaling inhibitors (ARSIs) in women with high levels of testosterone.

Abiraterone and spironolactone in prostate cancer: a combination to avoid.

TL;DR: Although spironolactone generally exerts anti-androgenic effects, experimental evidence exists that it acts as an androgens receptor agonist in an androgen-depleted environment, capable of inducing prostate cancer proliferation and should be avoided in prostate cancer patients suffering from treatment-associated side effects of abiraterone.

Molecular determinants of resistance to antiandrogen therapy

TL;DR: Using microarray-based profiling of isogenic prostate cancer xenograft models, it is found that a modest increase in androgen receptor mRNA was the only change consistently associated with the development of resistance to antiandrogen therapy.
