Outperforms Other Androgen Receptor Biomarkers to Predict Abiraterone or Enzalutamide Outcome in Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer.

Purpose: To infer the prognostic value of simultaneous androgen receptor () and profiling in liquid biopsies from patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) starting a new line of signaling inhibitors (ARSi). Between March 2014 and April 2017, we recruited patients with mCRPC ( = 168) prior to ARSi in a cohort study encompassing 10 European centers. Blood samples were collected for comprehensive profiling of CellSearch-enriched circulating tumor cells (CTC) and circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA).
