Abstract

Prostate cancer is one of the most common malignancies in old males. While chemotherapy remains an effective method for metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), most patients develop chemo-resistance with median survival less than 1 year after six to eight cycles of systematic chemotherapy. Therefore, it is very important to elucidate the mechanisms of CRPC and chemotherapy resistance. This article is to focus on the androgen receptor signaling pathway, micro-RNA, tumor microenvironment, cancer stem cells as well as related molecular events, and to summarize the research progress. Key words: Castration resistant prostate cancer; Chemotherapy resistance; Mechanism
