    Glossary Androgen-Sensitive Prostate Cancer Cells

    cancer cells in the prostate that depend on male hormones

    Androgen-sensitive prostate cancer cells are cancer cells in the prostate that rely on androgens, which are male hormones like testosterone, to grow and survive. These cells have receptors that bind to androgens, and this interaction stimulates their growth. In medical treatments, reducing androgen levels or blocking these receptors can help slow down or stop the progression of the cancer.
