Advances in Prostate Cancer Treatment: Exploring Molecular Targets and New Strategies in Castration-Resistant Disease.
Review in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Castration-resistant prostate cancer represents a major clinical challenge, emerging when tumors progress despite standard androgen deprivation therapy. The development of resistance is complex, driven by diverse molecular mechanisms, including androgen receptor (AR) gene amplification and splice variants, as well as AR-independent bypass pathways such as the PI3K/AKT/mTOR and immune checkpoint pathways. These mechanisms involve alternative growth factor signaling, neuroendocrine differentiation, and genetic or epigenetic alterations. This review synthesizes recent advances in understanding these resistance pathways and highlights emerging therapeutic strategies designed to overcome them. Key developments include next-generation AR pathway inhibitors, such as darolutamide, with improved safety profiles; PARP inhibitors for patients with DNA repair gene mutations; and PSMA-targeted radioligand therapy. The therapeutic landscape is also expanding to include novel targets such as the heat shock response, with HSF1 inhibitors like NXP800 in clinical trials for treatment-refractory disease. By targeting this molecular heterogeneity, ongoing research aims to deliver more effective, personalized treatments to improve survival and quality of life for men with advanced prostate cancer.
