Used in the treatment of prostate cancer, particularly castration-resistant prostate cancer. It works by blocking the androgen receptor signaling pathway, which helps slow or stop the growth of cancer cells that depend on androgens like testosterone. It is prescribed for patients who have previously received other treatments such as chemotherapy or androgen deprivation therapy. The compound helps delay disease progression and improve survival in advanced cases. It is taken orally and is often used in combination with other hormonal therapies.
