Germline DNA-repair Gene Mutations and Efficacy of Abiraterone or Enzalutamide in Patients with Metastatic Castration-resistant Prostate Cancer

Eur Urol Focus. 2019 Sep;5(5):745-747. doi: 10.1016/j.euf.2019.02.011. Epub 2019 Feb 21.

Abstract

1. mCRPC patients with gDDRm exhibit a good response to first abiraterone/enzalutamide treatments, despite this was not statistically significant. 2. The different detections of gDDRm and treatments (abiraterone or enzalutamide), indeed, are influential factors.
