A comparison of the sarcopenic effect of androgen receptor-axis-targeted agents vs. androgen deprivation alone in patients with metastatic prostate cancer
Abstract:Introduction: Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) with androgen receptor axis-targeted (ARAT) therapy is the standard of care provided to patients with metastatic prostate cancer. While effective, it results in sequelae, such as loss of skeletal muscle mass. In this study, we compared the sarcopenic effects of abiraterone and enzalutamide, two ARATs used to treat metastatic prostate cancer.
Methods: Our cohort comprised of 55 patients diagnosed with metastatic hormone-naive prostate cancer from 2014–2019. Patie… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
