If there were any drugs out there that worked with prostate cancer, other doctors would be using them Not some doctors that were repurposing drugs.
If there was another drug that really helped, it would be news to all of us. How about giving us some names of some drugs that are supposed to help?. If it’s Keytruda you need to look into what really goes on with that drug and how it only works with certain specific issues that can arise with MSI. If you think it’s a PARP inhibitor, you need to look into the actual test that shows that it really doesn’t work with anything but BRCA2.
There are no repurposed drugs that actually do anything. If there were, they would be standard usage drugs.
Of course, if you could get into a clinical trial or get access to one of those drugs, you might say oh it’s been repurposed.
So give us some names.

I might be wrong - but wouldn't estrogen be considered as "repurposed" drug for PC treatment ? Just a thought 🤔
I read not long ago that there are other cancers where with the help of AI some meds were repurposed with good results. I guess we never know what might help and I truly believe that AI will be great help in finding new drugs or finding old ones that might work for different diseases in general.
