Androgen deprivation therapy is an usual treatment for metastatic prostate cancer significantly inhibiting the progression of advanced prostate cancer via blocking androgen synthesis, or competitive binding to androgen receptors. Nevertheless, most of the patients end up with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) on the account of androgen resistance. It has been shown that androgen receptor splice variant 7 is strongly associated with the development of mCRPC and its drug resistance to androgen receptor signal transduction inhibitors (enzalutamide and abiraterone) in studies of recent years.
