Abstract
Methods for treating certain cancers in patients, such as mammals, using certain 17α-hydroxylase/C17,20-lyase inhibitors are discussed herein. More particularly, methods for treating cancers comprising administering a 17α-hydroxylase/C17,20-lyase inhibitor, such as abiraterone acetate (i.e. 3β-acetoxy-17-(3-pyridyl) androsta-5,16-diene) and metabolites thereof are described. In addition, methods for treating cancers that are refractory to hormone therapy or that are refractory to chemotherapy are also discussed. Finally novel dosing regimens and novel uses of the compounds discussed herein are disclosed.
