Over the past few years, treatment for advanced prostate cancer has begun shifting away from a one-size-fits-all approach toward biomarker-based therapies for select groups of patients. This review highlights the role of poly-ADP-ribose-polymerase (PARP) inhibitors in metastatic prostate cancer, emerging strategies to target the androgen receptor (AR), and innovative therapies aimed at cell surface proteins, including radioligand therapies, bispecific T cell engagers, and antibody-drug conjugates.

With the availability of PSMA-PET scans, it is controversial whether pelvic lymph-node dissection (PLND) at time of radical prostatectomy (RP) is still the most reliable and accurate staging modality for lymph-node assessment.

The Warburg effect is a shift from oxidative phosphorylation to anaerobic glycolysis, accompanied by an enormous increase in glucose uptake into cancer cells. We have utilized this effect to design a new group of targeted 1,4-naphthoquinone-glucose derivatives conjugated with a novel thiomethylene linker, which are cytotoxic to prostate cancer cells.

Metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPCa) presents de novo or represents significant disease progression and requires systemic treatment. However, progression to castration resistance is inevitable.

Background/Objectives: The germline polymorphism in the HSD3B1 gene (c.1100 C) results in adrenal-permissive (CC) or adrenal-restrictive (AA) functions of the protein product by regulating the production of high-affinity ligands that activate androgen signaling.

Standard treatment for unfavorable-intermediate and high-risk prostate cancer involves androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) in combination with pelvic conventional fractionation (CF) external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) and a CF-EBRT or brachytherapy boost to the prostate.

HP518 is an oral PROteolysis TArgeting Chimera (PROTAC) protein degrader targeting the wild-type androgen receptor (WT-AR) and mutant AR ligand-binding domain (AR-LBD). A multicenter, first-in-human, open-label Phase 1 dose escalation study was conducted in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, and anti-tumor activity of HP518.

The PATRIOT multicentre phase 2 trial showed that prolongation of overall treatment time (OTT) for prostate stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy (SABR) was associated with better acute bowel and urinary quality of life.

To compare a locally developed risk model based on clinical parameters with previously published models and strategies to reduce MRI-targeted biopsies of indeterminate PI-RADS 3 lesions without missing clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) (ISUP ≥ grade 2).

Overtreatment of prostate cancer is a public health concern that undermines prostate cancer screening efforts.

To assess trends in pathologic grade on prostatectomy during the past 2 decades as a surrogate for overtreatment.
