Distinct DNA methylation patterns associated with treatment resistance in metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer

Abstract Androgens are a major driver of prostate cancer (PCa) and continue to be a critical treatment target for advanced disease, which includes castration therapy and antiandrogens. However, resistance to these therapies leading to metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), and the...
