00:00Starting abiraterone for prostate cancer?
00:03Here's how it works.
00:05Abiraterone is a prescription medicine
00:07used to treat certain types of advanced prostate cancer.
00:10Its main goal is to slow the growth of cancer
00:13by reducing the hormones that the cancer depends on.
00:16If you're starting abiraterone,
00:18understanding how it works
00:19can help you feel more confident about your treatment.
00:22Prostate cancer cells often rely on testosterone to grow.
00:26So, abiraterone blocks an enzyme called CYP17,
00:30which is essential for the body to produce testosterone.
00:34By lowering testosterone levels,
00:36abiraterone helps slow down the progression of the cancer,
00:39giving your body a better chance to fight back.
00:42During your treatment,
00:43your oncologist will monitor your prostate-specific antigen,
00:46or PSA, blood test results,
00:49along with liver function and blood pressure.
00:52These checks help your doctor see
00:54how well the treatment is working
00:55and manage any side effects that may arise.
00:58Abiraterone should be taken exactly as prescribed,
01:01often alongside a corticosteroid like prednisone.
