GlossaryEnzalutamide

blocks male hormones to treat prostate cancer

Enzalutamide, also known by the brand name Xtandi, is a medication used to treat prostate cancer. It works by blocking the action of androgens (male hormones) that can promote the growth of cancer cells. This drug is particularly used in cases where the cancer has spread to other parts of the body and is resistant to other treatments.
