The Role of Extracellular Vesicles in the Treatment of Prostate Cancer
This review summarizes the pivotal role of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in the treatment of prostate cancer (PCa) comprehensively, including but not limited to promising marker and robust modulator to guide treatment tailoring for PCa, potential target for therapeutic modalities, and promising therapeutic vehicle. It elaborates the opportunities and challenges of EVs in PCa treatment, bringing new insights for researchers. AbstractProstate cancer (PCa) has become a public health concern in elderly men due to an ever-increasing number of estimated cases. Unfortunately, the available treatments are unsatisfactory because of ...

Pharmacokinetic study of capivasertib and the CYP3A4 substrate midazolam in patients with advanced solid tumors
ConclusionThe up to 1.75-fold increase in midazolam exposure indicates capivasertib is a weak CYP3A inhibitor at 400  mg BID on an intermittent schedule. Capivasertib was well tolerated; exploratory efficacy analysis demonstrated evidence of clinical activity in this heavily pre-treated population.ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT04958226.

Psychosocial Factors Associated with Cognitive Function in Prostate Cancer Survivors on Hormonal Treatments: A Systematic Review
AbstractHormonal treatments (HT) for prostate cancer (e.g., androgen deprivation therapy) yield clinical and survival benefits, yet adverse cognitive changes may be a side effect. Since psychosocial factors are largely modifiable, interventions targeting these factors may help mitigate these adverse cognitive effects. This systematic review aimed to identify a range of psychosocial factors associated with cognitive function in individuals with prostate cancer undergoing HT and to determine whether these factors mitigate or exacerbate this effect. Applying PRISMA guidelines, a comprehensive search of relevant databases cond...

Single-port robot-assisted radical prostatectomy
ConclusionBased on the existing literature, the introduction of SP-RARP not only enriched the repertoire of minimally-invasive surgical treatment options for prostate cancer but also provided the opportunity for urologists to develop new techniques that can improve perioperative outcomes and postoperative quality of life. Given the limited number of patients and heterogeneity in the patient selection and reporting of postoperative outcomes, further research remains necessary to better understand the different benefits and improve patient selection algorithms for the different techniques.

Endoplasmic reticulum stress-related genes as prognostic and immunogenic biomarkers in prostate cancer
ConclusionWe identified ERLIN2 and CDK5RAP3 as ERS-related genes with important prognostic and immunologic values, and classified patients between high- and low-risk subgroups, which provided new prognostic markers, immunotherapeutic targets, and basis for prognostic assessments.

[Corrigendum] Cripto ‑1 promotes epithelial‑mesenchymal transition in prostate cancer via Wnt/β‑catenin signaling
Oncol Rep. 2024 Jun;51(6):75. doi: 10.3892/or.2024.8734. Epub 2024 Apr 19.ABSTRACTFollowing the publication of the above article, an interested reader drew to the authors' attention that the β‑actin control blots featured in Figs. 5A and 6A appeared to be strikingly similar. Upon examining their original data, the authors have realized that the β‑actin blots for Fig. 5A were inadvertently chosen incorrectly. The corrected version of Fig. 5 is shown opposite. Note that the error made in uploading the incorrect version of this figure did not affect the overall conclusions reported in the paper. All the authors agree wi...

Singlet oxygen-based photoelectrochemical detection of miRNAs in prostate cancer patients' plasma: A novel diagnostic tool for liquid biopsy
Bioelectrochemistry. 2024 Apr 4;158:108698. doi: 10.1016/j.bioelechem.2024.108698. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDysregulation of miRNA expression occurs in many cancers, making miRNAs useful in cancer diagnosis and therapeutic guidance. In a clinical context using methods such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR), the limited amount of miRNAs in circulation often limits their quantification. Here, we present a PCR-free and sensitive singlet oxygen (1O2)-based strategy for the detection and quantification of miRNAs in untreated human plasma from patients diagnosed with prostate cancer. A target miRNA is specifically captured...
