Topoisomerase II alpha inhibition can overcome taxane-resistant prostate cancer through DNA repair pathways

Abstract Cabazitaxel (CBZ) is approved for the treatment of docetaxel-resistant castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). However, its efficacy against CRPC is limited, and there are no effective treatments for CBZ-resistant CRPC. This study explored the optimal treatment for CRPC in the post-cab...
