📋Overview
Zytiga is a medication primarily used in the management of certain types of prostate cancer. It works by inhibiting the production of androgens, hormones that can promote the growth of cancer cells in the prostate. Zytiga is often associated with advanced or metastatic prostate cancer, particularly in cases where the disease has progressed despite other treatments. Its use is typically part of a broader approach to cancer care.
