Abstract Purpose: Advanced prostate cancer (PCa) is invariably fatal with the androgen receptor (AR) being a major therapeutic target. AR signaling inhibitors have improved overall survival for men advanced PCa, but treatment resistance inevitable and includes reactivation of signaling. Novel approaches targeting these mechanisms to block tumor growth an urgent unmet clinical need. One attractive strategy target heat shock proteins critical functional activity. Experimental Design: We first...
