Brief description Male hormones (androgens) are the fuel that drives prostate cancer so reducing androgen levels is the standard treatment but cant cure the disease and causes serious side-effects throughout the body. We need to better target androgen withdrawal to prostate cancers and learn more about how it works to improve treatment. This project utilizes unique mouse models for experiments not feasible in humans to learn how androgens act and can be better targeted to cure prostate cancers.
