- A better understanding of the last 2 steps of the backdoor pathway could lead to improved treatment as androgen synthesis inhibitors (abiraterone, TAK-700, and TOK-001) all work upstream, far from DHT
- Researchers are testing whether an attack next to the preferred androgen DHT will improve response to FDA-approved agents
- Androgen deprivation therapy may be more effective if DHT levels in the tissue are reduced to 0
