Interesting. Thanks for bringing this up.

is enzalutamide similar to zytiga (abiraterone)?

[Maxone73 in reply to Jewelrylady]

Hi! Enza blocks the androgen receptors by binding to them, while Zytiga inhibits testosterone production.

Thank you. Is one better than the other? Or is it just a doctor’s preference. When my husband started treatment (Lupron, Zytiga and prednisone) we had no clue about other med possibilities. Fortunately, what he’s on is working, but the more I learn, the more I question!

It’s highly individual, I would not change something that is working. Unless there are bad adverse effects involved
