Can Apalutamide Root Out Prostate Cancer?

No, apalutamide will not cure your prostate cancer, but it can help control it by acting to delay the need for chemotherapy.

Apalutamide is an androgen receptor inhibitor used to treat non-metastatic denervation-resistant and metastatic denervation-sensitive prostate cancer. It does not cure prostate cancer, but it can relieve symptoms of advanced prostate cancer in men. Prostate cancer cells usually require testosterone hormone to grow. Apalutamide works by blocking the action of testosterone on prostate cancer cells.
