Androgen receptor variants: predictive and prognostic biomarkers, and overcoming treatment resistance in advanced prostate cancer


Synopsis:
The last several years has seen the approval of multiple new therapies for advanced prostate cancer, particularly targeting the androgen receptor (AR) axis.

This project aims to characterise prognostic and predictive biomarkers for treatment resistance from patient whole blood samples.
