Abstract

In this issue of Cancer Cell, Bluemn et al. report that ∼20% of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancers express neither AR nor neuroendocrine genes and show AR pathway-independent growth, driven instead by a FGFR/MAPK/ID1 signaling cascade. These results provide a strong rationale for co-targeting AR bypass pathways with initial AR antagonism.
