Expression of the microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP2) as a potential independent prognostic marker in prostate cancer
CONCLUSION: The present data support MAP2 as a novel biomarker in PCA specimens. MAP2 is correlated with tumor grade and MAP2 high-expressing PCA is associated with an increased risk of biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomy. Future studies are necessary to evaluate MAP2 as a valuable immunohistochemical biomarker in preoperative PCA diagnostic procedures, in particular with regard to treatment modalities.PMID:38310601 | PMC:PMC10838842 | DOI:10.1007/s00432-023-05579-0 (Source: Clinical Prostate Cancer)

Determination of enzalutamide long-term safety and efficacy for castration-resistant prostate cancer patients after combined anti-androgen blockade followed by alternative anti-androgen therapy: a multicenter prospective DELC study
CONCLUSIONS: In the DELC study, the safety of enzalutamide was comparable to that in previous reports. Serum levels of neuron-specific enolase and interleukin-6 were suggested as prognostic factors for castration-resistant prostate cancer with potential clinical utility.PMID:38305451 | DOI:10.1093/jjco/hyae004 (Source: Clinical Prostate Cancer)

Evaluation of AR, AR-V7, and p160 family as biomarkers for prostate cancer: insights into the clinical significance and disease progression
CONCLUSION: Upregulation of SRC-1 indicates a higher risk of progression to metastatic disease in a shorter period, which warrants further research to be applied as a clinical tool. Additionally, AR may be used as a predictor for PCa recurrence. Furthermore, AR-V7 may be helpful as a diagnostic tool for PCa and locally advanced cancer, comparable with other investigated tools.PMID:38305916 | PMC:PMC10837222 | DOI:10.1007/s00432-023-05598-x (Source: Clinical Prostate Cancer)

ERBB3 overexpression is enriched in diverse patient populations with castration-sensitive prostate cancer and is associated with a unique AR activity signature
CONCLUSIONS: In diverse CSPC patient populations, ERBB3 OE was associated with high AR signaling despite low intraprostatic androgen. Mechanistic studies demonstrated a direct link between HER3 and enzalutamide resistance. ERBB3 OE as a biomarker could thus stratify patients for intensification of therapy in castration-sensitive disease, including targeting HER3 directly to improve sensitivity to AR-targeted therapies.PMID:38306015 | DOI:10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-23-2161 (Source: Clinical Prostate Cancer)

Quadruplet Therapy in De Novo High-Volume Mixed Neuroendocrine Prostate Cancer Using 177Lu-PSMA: A Case Report
We present a case of de novo high-volume metastatic prostate cancer with high PSMA expression, partially PSMA-negative, using quadruplet therapy (PROMISE ver. 2 miTNM; miT4N2M1aM1b(dmi) PRIMARY score: 5, PSMA-expression score: 0-3). Because of our patient's partial PSMA negativity and after a multidisciplinary tumor board discussion, we decided to use a modified protocol involving doublet hormonal therapy along with 177Lu-PSMA and radiation therapy to address the PSMA-negative disease. The patient responded well to this treatment, but recurrence was ultimately inevitable. This case represents a typical example of mixed neu...

The Effect of Treatment Intensification on Other-Cause Mortality in Clear-Cell Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma Patients
CONCLUSIONS: The current study indicates no OCM-disadvantage in ST + CN ccmRCC patients, relative to their ST alone counterparts. Conversely, a strong association with lower CSM was recorded in ST + CN patients, relative to their ST alone counterparts. These associations are robust and remained unchanged after strictest statistical adjustment including control for immortal time bias.PMID:38307818 | DOI:10.1016/j.clgc.2023.12.013 (Source: Clinical Prostate Cancer)

An unusual presentation of metastatic prostate cancer in a 44-year-old man: A case report and review of the literature
Clin Case Rep. 2024 Jan 28;12(2):e8447. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.8447. eCollection 2024 Feb.ABSTRACTProstate cancer is one of the two most common non-cutaneous cancers in men. Its presentation might be with unusual symptoms and cause the wrong initial diagnosis. This case report discusses a rare neurologic manifestation of advanced metastatic cancer in a low-risk man. He had been receiving treatment for multiple sclerosis incorrectly due to unusual manifestations such as claudication and pelvic, leg, and shoulder pain. The patient underwent a whole-body bone scan and then a transrectal ultrasound-guided biopsy, which confirmed me...

Inflammatory response in gastrointestinal cancers: Overview of six transmembrane epithelial antigens of the prostate in pathophysiology and clinical implications
World J Clin Oncol. 2024 Jan 24;15(1):9-22. doi: 10.5306/wjco.v15.i1.9.ABSTRACTChronic inflammation is known to increase the risk of gastrointestinal cancers (GICs), the common solid tumors worldwide. Precancerous lesions, such as chronic atrophic inflammation and ulcers, are related to inflammatory responses in vivo and likely to occur in hyperplasia and tumorigenesis. Unfortunately, due to the lack of effective therapeutic targets, the prognosis of patients with GICs is still unsatisfactory. Interestingly, it is found that six transmembrane epithelial antigens of the prostate (STEAPs), a group of metal reductases, are si...
