The Gleason grading system, currently the most powerful prognostic predictor of prostate cancer, is based solely on the tumor's histological architecture and has high inter-observer variability. We propose an automated Gleason scoring system based on deep neural networks for diagnosis of prostate core needle biopsy samples.

Small cell prostate cancer (SCPC) is a rare histologic subtype of prostate cancer, for which the optimal staging strategy remains unclear.

The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database was used to analyze the incidence and outcomes of SCPC between the years 2004 through 2016.

An elevated serum PSA is the only biomarker routinely used in screening for prostate cancer to indicate a prostate biopsy. However, it is not specific for prostate cancer and the neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio has been suggested as an alternative.

The nuclear receptor superfamily comprises a large group of proteins with functions essential for cell signaling, survival, and proliferation. There are multiple distinctions between nuclear superfamily classes defined by hallmark differences in function, ligand binding, tissue specificity, and DNA binding.

An older age at the diagnosis of prostate cancer has been linked to worse prostate cancer-specific survival (PCSS). However, these studies were conducted before the approval of many life-prolonging drugs.

Pembrolizumab has previously shown antitumor activity against programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1)-positive metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Here, we assessed the antitumor activity and safety of pembrolizumab in three parallel cohorts of a larger mCRPC population.

The optimal management of men with prostate cancer at high risk of recurrence postradical prostatectomy is controversial. The clinical utility of the Decipher test was evaluated prospectively on postoperative treatment decisions and patient-reported outcomes.

To predict long-term treatment outcome of radiation therapy (RT) plus androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for high-risk locally advanced prostate cancer.

In total, 204 patients with the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) high risk locally advanced prostate cancer (PSA > 20 ng/ml, Gleason score ≧ 8, clinical T stage ≧ 3a) were treated with definitive RT with ADT.

High resolution micro-ultrasound (micro-u/s) is a novel technology that permits visualization of lesions suspicious for prostate cancer. The resolution of 70 μ, that of a prostatic duct, means that alterations in ductal anatomy and cellular density are readily apparent.

Digital rectal examination (DRE) is one of the most common strategies for prostate cancer early detection. However, the use for screening purposes has a controversial benefit and potential harms can occur due to false-positive results, overdiagnosis and overtreatment.
