Abstract: Androgen deprivation therapy(ADT)has always been a representative therapy for advanced prostate cancer.When prostate cancer progresses to castration resistant prostate cancer(CRPC),ADT resistance also emerges.Currently,docetaxel is the first cytotoxic chemotherapy drug approved for CRPC.In addition,abiraterone,enzalutamide and other drugs have also been approved by FDA,and these drugs have shown good survival benefits.In this article,we reviewed the clinical trials and survival benefits of these therapies,and discussed emerging drugs in this field.This review will describe the current status of CRPC drug treatment and provide references for clinical medication.

Key words: Prostate cancer, Castration-resistant prostate cancer(CRPC), Drug therapy
