In the body, prostate cancer cells grow faster when they're fueled by male hormones like testosterone. Darolutamide steps in to stop this. It's like putting a lock on the door of these cancer cells so testosterone can't get in and make them grow.

So, Darolutamide blocks the receptors on prostate cancer cells that testosterone would usually attach to. Without testosterone, the cancer cells slow down and can't grow as much. It's like cutting off their food supply, which helps control the cancer.

In simple terms, Darolutamide is like a guard that stops testosterone from fueling prostate cancer cells, slowing down the cancer's growth and helping patients feel better.

In simple terms, it's a medication that helps control prostate cancer that hasn't spread to other parts of the body and isn't responding to other treatments. Darolutamide works by blocking the effects of male hormones like testosterone on prostate cancer cells, slowing down the cancer's growth and helping patients feel better.
