A phylogenetic approach to inferring the order in which mutations arise during cancer progression - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36459515/
Although the role of evolutionary process in cancer progression is widely accepted, increasing attention is being given to the evolutionary mechanisms that can lead to differences in clinical outcome. Recent...
Conclusions: We illustrate our method by analyzing data from colorectal and prostate cancer patients, in which our method strengthens previously reported mutation orders. Our work is an important step towards producing meaningful prediction of mutation order with high accuracy and measuring the uncertainty of predicted mutation order in cancer...

Conclusions: Serial SBRT for oligometastatic CaP detected on PSMA or Fluciclovine PET is feasible and can achieve PSA declines, with or without systemic therapy. Degree of biochemical response to first SBRT warrants further study as a potential predictor of PSA response, PFS, and ADT initiation/intensification-free survival following a...
ARID1A loss induces polymorphonuclear myeloid-derived suppressor cell chemotaxis and promotes prostate cancer progression - Nature Communications
Source : https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-022-34871-9
The accumulation of myeloid derived suppressor cells (MDSC) has been associated with prostate cancer progression and castration resistance. Here the authors show that loss of ARID1A, a subunit of the...
Conclusions: Our findings highlight that the IKKβ/ARID1A/NF-κB feedback axis integrates inflammation and immunosuppression to promote PCa progression.
Detection of YAP1 and AR-V7 mRNA for Prostate Cancer Prognosis Using an ISFET Lab-On-Chip Platform - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36368032/
Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most common cause of male cancer-related death worldwide. The gold standard of treatment for advanced PCa is androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). However, eventual failure...
Relevance: This technique was implemented onto a lab-on-chip platform integrating an array of chemical sensors (ion-sensitive field-effect transistors) for real-time detection of RNA. Detection of RNA presence was achieved through the translation of chemical signals into electrical readouts. Validation of this technique was conducted with rapid...
Phase II Randomized Study of Salvage Radiation Therapy Plus Enzalutamide or Placebo for High-Risk Prostate-Specific Antigen Recurrent Prostate Cancer After Radical Prostatectomy: The SALV-ENZA Trial
Source : https://ascopubs.org/doi/10.1200/JCO.22.01662
PURPOSE We sought to investigate whether enzalutamide (ENZA), without concurrent androgen deprivation therapy, increases freedom from prostate-specific antigen (PSA) progression (FFPP) when combined with salvage radiation therapy (SRT) in men...
Conclusions: "Conclusion: SRT plus ENZA monotherapy for 6 months in men with PSA-recurrent high-risk prostate cancer after RP is safe and delays PSA progression relative to SRT alone. The impact of ENZA on distant metastasis or survival is unknown at this time."
