Docetaxel Resistance in Prostate Cancer: Taking It Up a Notch

Clin Cancer Res. 2015 Oct 15;21(20):4505-7. doi: 10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-15-1613. Epub 2015 Aug 25.

Abstract

Notch signaling is implicated in prostate cancer progression and docetaxel resistance. Cui and colleagues describe the additive efficacy and mechanisms of a γ-secretase inhibitor, PF-03084014, and docetaxel in preclinical models of prostate cancer, suggesting the need for further clinical development of Notch pathway modulators in men with metastatic prostate cancer.
