The PCF Women in Science Forum aims to build a strong network of women in prostate cancer research and address gender inequities in science. Dr @vedangiri, Dr. @AyeshaShafi_PhD, & Dr. @Fletcher_C discuss the importance of this initiative on @urotoday

Very informative session! I’m even more excited to uncover and dissect mechanisms of AR resistance.
Despite what you may have heard, the #androgenreceptor is still a big deal in #prostatecancer. But how we target AR is evolving. Join us Jan 16 for a free @TheEndoSociety webinar with an expert panel to discuss new trends in anti-AR therapy. Registration👉 https://t.co/4MAtiuunk7

The @US_FDA has approved a new medication, niraparib, in combination with abiraterone acetate for patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who also have mutations in specific genes called BRCA1 and BRCA2. https://t.co/dEBbWyy8cM

I’m currently in my PhD program and I don’t go to parties AT ALL, and I’m still not successful
When I was in my PhD program I didn’t go to any parties except one, where a bunch of the other students cornered me, drunk, to ask what I was doing that I was getting some success, as if it wasn’t just from writing instead of going to parties and watching too much tv.

The ability of CD4+ effector cells to contribute to antitumour immunity independently of CD8+ T cells is increasingly recognized. CD4+ T cell-induced inflammatory cell death controls immune-evasive tumours

The androgen receptor (AR) is one of the oldest therapeutic targets in oncology and continues to dominate the treatment landscape for advanced prostate cancer, where nearly all treatment regimens...
Check out our review on AR in non-cancer cells, https://t.co/HNjkyTxITR, including the immune system, fibroblasts, bone, adipocytes and CV in @TheEndoSociety Learned a lot from co-authors on the complicated role of AR signaling in these compartments. @DanielFrigo led this effort!
