Abstract
Prostate cancer that has progressed after androgen deprivation, abiraterone, and taxane therapy is challenging to treat successfully. Herein we report a dramatic response to continuous-infusion 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) at a dose of 200 mg/m2 in a patient with rapidly progressive, heavily pretreated, metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer. Baseline prostate-specific antigen values declined from 1,890 ng/mL to <1 ng/mL after 5-FU therapy. We hypothesized that prostate-specific membrane antigen overexpression may result in cancer cells uniquely susceptible to antifolate therapies. © AlphaMed Press 2017.Entities:
