Research Study of Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (mCRPC)

Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (mCRPC) is an advanced stage of prostate cancer where the cancer cells have spread to other parts of the body and no longer respond to hormone therapy. It can metastasize to various areas such as nearby lymph nodes, bones, bladder, rectum, liver, lungs, and potentially the brain.

Hightower clinical trial aimed to prospectively compare the effectiveness of an investigational drug with the standard hormone therapy used to diagnose individuals with metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer.
