What Is Prostate Cancer?
Prostate cancer develops in the prostate gland and is one of the most common cancers
affecting men globally. Early awareness and timely treatment play a critical role in patient
outcomes.
- Malignancy in the prostate gland
Definition & Prevalence - Among most common cancers in men
- Affects millions worldwide annually
- Often slow-growing in early stages
Growth Patterns - Can become aggressive in advanced forms
- May spread to bones and other organs
- Improves treatment outcomes
Importance of Early Detection - Allows for more treatment options
- Significantly impacts survival rates
Symptoms of Advanced Prostate Cancer
Urinary Issues Pain Symptoms
- Difficulty starting urination - Bone pain, especially in back/hips

How
Prostate
Cancer
Progresses
Hormone Resistance Advanced Stages
- Initially responds to hormone therapy - Cancer cells continue to grow
- Eventually becomes resistant - May spread beyond prostate
- Develops into castration-resistant - Metastasis to bones common
prostate cancer (CRPC) - Requires advanced treatment
Treatment Options for Advanced Prostate Cancer
Hormone Therapy Reduces testosterone to slow cancer growth
Chemotherapy Kills rapidly dividing cancer cells
Targeted Therapy Attacks specific cancer cell mechanisms
AR Inhibitors Blocks signals that help cancer cells grow
Personalized Care Treatment tailored to patient and disease
Role of Enzalutamide in
Treatment
Enzalutamide is an androgen receptor inhibitor used in the treatment of advanced and
metastatic prostate cancer. It works by blocking signals that help cancer cells grow and
spread, making it a key medication for castration-resistant cases.
- Functions by binding to androgen receptors
Androgen Receptor Inhibition - Prevents testosterone from activating receptors
- Blocks nuclear translocation of activated receptors
- Disrupts multiple pathways in cancer cell growth
Blocking Cancer Growth
- Prevents DNA binding of androgen receptors
Signals - Reduces proliferation of prostate cancer cells
- Oral administration provides convenience
Effectiveness in Advanced
- Proven efficacy in metastatic cases
Cases
- Extends survival in castration-resistant patients
Benefits of
Enzalutamide
Therapy
Oral Therapy Disease Control
- Convenient tablet form - Slows cancer progression
- No need for injections or infusions - Delays need for chemotherapy
- Can be taken at home - Reduces PSA levels in many patients
- Consistent medication delivery - Controls disease symptoms
Quality of Life Global Usage
- Maintains daily functioning - Widely prescribed worldwide
- Reduces pain in many cases - Standard of care in many countries
- Preserves independence longer - Used in various treatment protocols
- Fewer hospital visits required - Effective under medical supervision
