Castrate‐resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) occurs when disease progresses in the presence of castrate levels of androgens and remains sensitive to further hormonal manipulation. For many years the treatment of CRPC was limited to the use of docetaxel for metastatic disease. However, this has recently changed with the approval of several new agents. Sipuleucel‐T, an immunotherapeutic vaccine, is now available in the US for patients with non‐metastatic CRPC and abiraterone, an oral enzyme inhibitor of androgen biosynthesis, as well as cabazitaxel, a cytotoxic chemotherapeutic, have been approved for the treatment of metastatic CRPC. Also, denosumab, a subcutaneous antibody, is now an option for the treatment of patients with CRPC with bone metastases, in addition to zoledronic acid, an intravenous bisphosphonate.
