This special issue provides an update on differ-ent biological and clinical aspects of adrenal andro-gens, androgen biosynthetic pathways, AR-signaling, inter-racial differences in AR mutations, and clinical success and failure of antiandrogens and anti-AR therapies in prostate cancer (PCa). Androgen receptor (AR), a nuclear steroid receptor and transcription factor, has a central role in the normal growth and development of the prostate gland, in prostate car-cinogenesis, and in the castrate-resistant (CR) pro-gression of PCa [1]. Understanding the critical mo-lecular events that lead PCa cells to resist antiandro-gens or anti-AR therapies is essential in developing successful treatments for CR or advanced stages of the disease [2, 3]. In a relatively significant number of PCa
