An Update on the Role of mpMRI and (68)Ga-PSMA PET Imaging in Primary and Recurrent Prostate Cancer
The objective of this work was to review comparisons of the efficacy of 68Ga-PSMA-11 (prostate-specific membrane antigen) PET/CT and multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) in the detection of prostate cancer among patients undergoing initial staging prior to radical prostatectomy or experiencing recurrent prostate cancer, based on histopathological data. A comprehensive search was conducted in PubMed and Web of Science, and relevant articles were analyzed with various parameters, including year of publication, study design, patient count, age, PSA (prostate-specific antigen) value, Gleason score, standardized u...

The Added Value of MRI-Based Targeted Biopsy in Biopsy-Na ïve Patients: A Propensity-Score Matched Comparison
CONCLUSION: The CB approach was superior to the SOB approach in detecting csPCa, while no additional detection of ncsPCa was seen. Our results support the application of mpMRI for biopsy-naïve patients with suspicions of prostate cancer.PMID:38592166 | DOI:10.3390/jcm13051355 (Source: Clinical Prostate Cancer)

Developing and validating a simple urethra surrogate model to facilitate dosimetric analysis to predict genitourinary toxicity
CONCLUSION: While there were geometric differences between the MDU and SUM, there was no clinically significant difference between urethral dose-volume parameters. This surrogate model could be validated in a larger cohort and then used to estimate the urethral dose on CT planning scans in those without an MRI planning scan or urinary catheter.PMID:38586079 | PMC:PMC10998036 | DOI:10.1016/j.ctro.2024.100769 (Source: Clinical Prostate Cancer)

Impact of Circulating Tumor Cell-Expressed Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen and Prostate-Specific Antigen Transcripts in Different Stages of Prostate Cancer
CONCLUSIONS: PSMA and PSA mRNA expressions are associated with BCR in LPCa. In advanced prostate cancer, PSMA and PSA mRNA can also predict rapid progression from mHSPC to mCRPC and ARSI or taxane-based chemotherapy resistance.PMID:38587547 | DOI:10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-23-3083 (Source: Clinical Prostate Cancer)

Psoas mass index at the level of the third lumbar vertebra on computed tomography is a prognostic predictor for metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer
CONCLUSIONS: Pretreatment psoas muscle index is an independent predictor of poor castration-resistant prostate cancer-free survival and overall survival in patients with N1 and/or M1 metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer.PMID:38587577 | DOI:10.1007/s10147-024-02514-2 (Source: Clinical Prostate Cancer)

Genomic ancestry and cancer among Latin Americans
Clin Transl Oncol. 2024 Apr 6. doi: 10.1007/s12094-024-03415-6. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTLatin American populations, characterized by intricate admixture patterns resulting from the intermingling of ancestries from European, Native American (NA) Asian, and African ancestries which result in a vast and complex genetic landscape, harboring unique combinations of novel variants. This genetic diversity not only poses challenges in traditional population genetics methods but also opens avenues for a deeper understanding of its implications in health. In cancer, the interplay between genetic ancestry, lifestyle factors, and...
