  • * Five patients took neither abiretarone nor enzalutamide, and 3 patients took bicalutamide.

  • All patients who were taking enzalutamide or abiraterone had increasing PSA under these medications.

  • RANKL = receptor activator of nuclear factor κ-B ligand; met = metastases; pts = patients; abd = abdominal; thor = thoracic.

  • Data in parentheses are percentages.
