If you're a caregiver or have a loved one with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, you know how difficult this disease has been for him. You've helped your loved one through the ups and downs and have encouraged him to keep fighting. But you may be wondering if there are any treatments left to try.
ZYTIGA® Offers Another Option
ZYTIGA® (abiraterone acetate) offers another option to help men who have metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, which is prostate cancer that has spread to other parts of the body and is resistant to medical or surgical treatments that lower testosterone, and who have received docetaxel.
ZYTIGA® works by interrupting the androgen-making process at an important step, thereby reducing the amount of androgen being made.
ZYTIGA® blocks androgen production at three sources: the testes, the adrenal glands, and the tumor itself.
Help Your Loved One Find Out If ZYTIGA® Is Right for Him
Your loved one may be reluctant to explore another therapy. His previous therapies may have been challenging. He may also be concerned about a new treatment's effectiveness, side effects, and expense. But you can help.
- Provide your loved one with information about ZYTIGA®, by showing him the information from this Website and getting our free Prostate Cancer Information Kit.
- Talk with him about the benefits of ZYTIGA®.
- Encourage your loved one to schedule an appointment with his doctor specifically to ask if ZYTIGA® is right for him. Prepare for his doctor visit with our Doctor Discussion Guide.
