Prostate cancer is the most common carcinoma of the male urinary system in developed countries. Androgen deprivation therapy has been commonly used in the treatment of prostate cancer for decades, but most patients will inevitably develop into more aggressive castration-resistant prostate cancer. Therefore, novel strategies are urgent to address this resistance mechanism. In this review, we discussed some new strategies for targeting androgen receptors through degradation pathways as potential treatments for prostate cancer.
