Abstract

See full text

The disclosure provides a method of predicting de novo resistance to androgen receptor (AR) targeted therapy in a tumor of a prostate cancer patient comprising (a) performing a direct analysis comprising immunofluorescent staining and morphological characteristization of nucleated cells in a blood sample obtained from the patient to generate circulating tumor cell (CTC) data, wherein the analysis comprises determining a measurable feature of a panel of traditional and non-traditional CTC biomarkers for de novo resistance to androgen receptor (AR) targeted therapy, and (b) evaluating the CTC data to determine the probability of de novo resistance to the AR targeted therapy in the tumor of the prostate cancer patient. Further disclosed are the panel of traditional and non-traditional CTC biomarkers for the methods.
