Popis: BACKGROUND Currently available 5α-reductase inhibitors are not completely effective for treatment of benign prostate enlargement, prevention of prostate cancer (CaP), or treatment of advanced castration-recurrent (CR) CaP. We tested the hypothesis that a novel 5α-reductase, 5α-reductase-3, contributes to residual androgen metabolism, especially in CR-CaP.
