Tumor Microenvironment-Derived NRG1 Promotes Antiandrogen Resistance in Prostate Cancer
[Paper-level Aggregated] PMCID: PMC7472556
Evidence Type(s): Oncogenic, Diagnostic, Prognostic
Justification: Oncogenic: The text discusses the upregulation of NRG1 in response to hormone therapy and its association with promoting resistance to androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), indicating a role in cancer progression. Diagnostic: The detection of NRG1 expression using an immunohistochemical assay in patients with localized prostate cancer suggests its potential use as a diagnostic marker for assessing treatment response. Prognostic: The correlation between NRG1 expression and patient outcomes, particularly in relation to ADT treatment, implies that NRG1 levels may serve as a prognostic indicator for treatment efficacy in prostate cancer.
