00:00Why are many patients with advanced prostate cancer prescribed abiraterone acetate?
00:03Prostate cancer can depend on male hormones, called androgens, to keep growing.
00:07Even when testosterone is reduced, some cancer cells may continue making enough hormones to survive.
00:12Abiraterone helps by blocking CYP17, an enzyme involved in making androgens.
00:18Lower hormone levels can slow the growth of certain advanced prostate cancers.
00:22Doctors commonly prescribe abiraterone together with prednisone as part of the treatment plan.
00:26It may be considered for metastatic or advanced disease, but it is not right for everyone.
00:31Your oncologist will look at your diagnosis, overall health, and previous treatments before recommending it.
