Table 2. Therapeutic strategies targeting AHR and AR signaling.
Therapeutic Approach | Target Pathway | Potential Benefits | Population Focused |
AHR Antagonists | AHR Signaling | Inhibit pro-tumorigenic effects of AHR, potentially reducing aggressiveness of prostate cancer. | African American men with high AHR activity. |
AR Signaling Inhibitors (e.g., ADT) | AR Signaling | Reduce AR-driven tumor growth, though resistance may occur in high AR activity cases. | Patients with high AR activity, particularly African American men. |
Combination Therapy (AHR and AR) | Both AHR and AR | Address both signaling pathways to combat aggressive prostate cancer forms and overcome resistance to ADT. | High-risk populations with genetic predispositions for high AHR and AR activity. |
