Abstract

See full text

The present invention provides methods of evaluating the effectiveness of an antiandrogen therapy in a human by comparing the pre- and post antiandrogen treatment levels of an androgen modulated diagnostic marker and a prostate-specific, androgen independent, diagnostic marker in the human. Methods utilizing these markers are also provided that are useful for identifying antiandrogen compounds capable of killing prostate cancer cells, and identifying a human suspected of responding more, or less, favorably to treatment with an antiandrogen compound and monitoring the treatment thereof. Kits and compositions related to these methods are also provided.
