Personalizing Androgen Suppression for Prostate Cancer Using Mathematical Modeling
Using a dataset of 150 patients treated with intermittent androgen suppression (IAS) through a fixed treatment schedule, we retrospectively designed a personalized treatment schedule mathematically for each patient. We estimated 100 sets of parameter values for each patient by randomly resampling each patient's time points to take into account the uncertainty for observations of prostate specif...
متن کاملIntracrine androgen biosynthesis, metabolism and action revisited
Androgens play an important role in metabolic homeostasis and reproductive health in both men and women. Androgen signalling is dependent on androgen receptor activation, mostly by testosterone and 5α-dihydrotestosterone. However, the intracellular or intracrine activation of C19 androgen precursors to active androgens in peripheral target tissues of androgen action is of equal importance. Intr...
متن کاملDominant-Negative Androgen Receptor Inhibition of Intracrine Androgen-Dependent Growth of Castration-Recurrent Prostate Cancer
BACKGROUND Prostate cancer (CaP) is the second leading cause of cancer death in American men. Androgen deprivation therapy is initially effective in CaP treatment, but CaP recurs despite castrate levels of circulating androgen. Continued expression of the androgen receptor (AR) and its ligands has been linked to castration-recurrent CaP growth. PRINCIPAL FINDING In this report, the ligand-dep...
متن کاملMathematical modeling of prostate cancer progression in response to androgen ablation therapy.
Prostate cancer progression depends in part on the complex interactions between testosterone, its active metabolite DHT, and androgen receptors. In a metastatic setting, the first line of treatment is the elimination of testosterone. However, such interventions are not curative because cancer cells evolve via multiple mechanisms to a castrate-resistant state, allowing progression to a lethal ou...
متن کاملQuantitative mathematical modeling of PSA dynamics of prostate cancer patients treated with intermittent androgen suppression.
If a mathematical model is to be used in the diagnosis, treatment, or prognosis of a disease, it must describe the inherent quantitative dynamics of the state. An ideal candidate disease is prostate cancer owing to the fact that it is characterized by an excellent biomarker, prostate-specific antigen (PSA), and also by a predictable response to treatment in the form of androgen suppression ther...
