Abstract

Sex hormones and their receptors play a crucial role in human sexual dimorphism and have been traditionally associated with hormone-dependent cancers like breast, prostate, and endometrial cancer. However, recent research has broadened our understanding by revealing connections with other types of cancers, such as lung cancer, where the androgen receptor has been found to be particularly significant. This review aims to explore the molecular mechanisms of androgen action in lung cancer pathogenesis and progression, highlighting the potential of inhibiting the androgen receptor signaling pathway as a therapeutic strategy for lung cancer treatment.
