In search of novel strategies to improve the outcome of advanced prostate cancer, we considered that prostate cancer cells rearrange iron homeostasis, favoring iron uptake and proliferation. We exploited this adaptation by exposing prostate cancer preclinical models to high-dose iron to induce toxicity and disrupt adaptation to androgen starvation.
