What is Casodex?
Casodex is a brand-name prescription drug that treats stage D2 metastatic prostate cancer, an advanced stage of prostate cancer in which the tumors have spread (metastasized) throughout the body, including lymph nodes, bones, and internal organs.
The male hormones, testosterone, and dihydrotestosterone are primarily responsible for causing prostate cancer tumors to grow. When they attach to the cancer cells, they “activate” the cells to produce new cancer cells. The active ingredient in Casodex, bicalutamide, sticks to a molecule on the surface of cancer cells that the male hormones would normally attach to, stopping the growth of the tumor.
Casodex is always taken in combination with testosterone-reducing drugs.
