Prostate Cancer

Androgen Deprivation Therapy and Cognitive Function in Prostate Cancer.

Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is widely used in prostate cancer. Interest in assessing how ADT impacts cognition is growing.

Studies in animals and humans suggest that androgens may affect cognitive function.

Prostate MRI: staging and decision-making.

Multi-parametric prostate MRI (mpMRI) plays a critical role in the diagnosis, staging, and evaluation of treatment response in patients with prostate cancer. Radiologists, through an accurate and standardized interpretation of mpMRI, can clinically stage prostate cancer and help to risk stratify patients who may benefit from more invasive treatment or exclude patients who may be harmed by overtreatment.

Single dose high-dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy (BT) as monotherapy for localised prostate cancer: Early results of a UK national cohort study.

HDR brachytherapy alone is effective for the treatment of localised prostate cancer when given in 2-4 or more fractions. Single dose treatment has been explored in small cohort studies to date. This paper reports a large patient population with localised prostate cancer treated with single dose HDR brachytherapy delivering 19 Gy providing early outcome data from this approach.

Prognostic value of perineural invasion in prostate needle biopsies: a population-based study of patients treated by radical prostatectomy.

Despite being one of the major pathways for the spread of malignant tumours, perineural invasion (PNI) has not conclusively been shown to have an independent prognostic value for prostate cancer. Prostatic biopsy constitutes the major pathology workload in prostate cancer and is the foundation for primary treatment decisions and for this reason we aimed to estimate the prognostic value of PNI in biopsies.

The Significance of Primary Biopsy Gleason 5 in Patients with Grade Group 5 Prostate Cancer.

The five-tier grade group (GG) classification for prostate cancer (PCa) does not differentiate between primary (5+4) or secondary (4+5) histological Gleason 5 pattern in GG 5. We addressed the prognostic value of primary versus secondary biopsy Gleason 5 for GG 5 among 18 555 PCa patients treated with radical prostatectomy (RP) between 1992 and 2014.

Assessment of Body Composition in the Advanced Stage of Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer: Special Focus on Sarcopenia - Beyond the Abstract

Prostate cancer represents the most common solid male neoplasm. The standard therapy for some patients with locally advanced and all patients with metastatic disease is androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), which alters patients' body composition with a significant loss in skeletal muscle volume (SMV) and an increase in subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT). Despite an initial favorable response to ADT, eventually, almost all patients will develop irreversible resistance within a median duration of 2 years, resulting in castration-resistance prostate cancer (CRPC).

68Ga-PSMA PET/CT in Recurrence Prostate Cancer. Should We Perform Delayed Image in Cases of Negative 60 Minutes Postinjection Examination?

We report a case of a 59-year-old man with prostate adenocarcinoma, Gleason score 9 after prostatectomy and adjuvant radiotherapy. The patient showed biochemical recurrence. On standard Ga-PSMA PET/CT examination, 60 minutes postinjection, the PET/CT images showed only trace accumulation in the ureters.

Androgen receptor-binding sites are highly mutated in prostate cancer.

Androgen receptor (AR) signalling is essential in nearly all prostate cancers. Any alterations to AR-mediated transcription can have a profound effect on carcinogenesis and tumor growth. While mutations of the AR protein have been extensively studied, little is known about those somatic mutations that occur at the non-coding regions where AR binds DNA.

PSA and PSA Kinetics Thresholds for the Presence of 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT-Detectable Lesions in Patients With Biochemical Recurrent Prostate Cancer.

68Ga-PSMA-11 positron-emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) is commonly used for restaging recurrent prostate cancer (PC) in European clinical practice. The goal of this study is to determine the optimum time for performing these PET/CT scans in a large cohort of patients by identifying the prostate-specific-antigen (PSA) and PSA kinetics thresholds for detecting and localizing recurrent PC.

Exercise prescription dose for castrate-resistant prostate cancer patients: a phase I prescription dose escalation trial.

To determine the start exercise prescription dose in metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) patients receiving second-line hormone treatment and recommended phase II exercise prescription.
