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)

Cardiovascular Toxicity Associated With Androgen Receptor Axis-Targeted Agents in Patients With Prostate Cancer: A Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials
CONCLUSION: The inclusion of ARAT agents was associated with a significantly higher risk of several CVAEs. Clinicians should remain vigilant, both in pre-treatment screening and monitoring for clinical symptoms and signs, when considering ARAT agent particularly for patients with pre-existing risk factors.PMID:38584004 | DOI:10.1016/j.clgc.2024.102066 (Source: Clinical Prostate Cancer)

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...

Head-to-head comparison of prostate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography/computed tomography and multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging in the detection of biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: The performance of PSMA PET/CT and mpMRI in identifying biochemical recurrence in PCa appears to be comparable. However, the meta-analysis' findings came from research with modest sample sizes. In this context, more extensive research should be conducted in the future.PMID:38582633 | DOI:10.1016/j.crad.2024.02.008 (Source: Clinical Prostate Cancer)

Impact of disease volume on survival efficacy of triplet therapy for metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer: a systematic review, meta-analysis, and network meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: Triplet therapy improves OS in mHSPC patients compared to docetaxel-based doublet therapy, irrespective of disease volume. However, based on treatment ranking, triplet therapy should preferably be considered for patients with high-volume mHSPC while those with low-volume are likely to be adequately treated with ARSI + ADT.PMID:38582807 | DOI:10.1007/s10147-024-02485-4 (Source: Clinical Prostate Cancer)
