Therapy Description |
Casodex (bicalutamide) is an androgen-receptor antagonist that binds androgen receptors and inhibits androgen binding, therefore inhibits AR-dependent growth of tumor cells (PMID: 9428389). Casodex (bicalutamide) is approved, in combination with a luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) analog, for metastatic carcinoma of the prostate (FDA.gov). |
