Androgen deprivation therapy has been the mainstay of treatment for advanced and metastatic prostate cancer. The use of novel agents targeting the androgen receptor and its signaling pathways offers a promising approach that is both safe and effective. We describe the rationale behind the use of these compounds in clinical development and the existing challenges as to how best to incorporate these new and emerging therapies in the changing treatment paradigm of metastatic prostate cancer.
