MRI-defined treatment margins, urinary toxicity, and PSA response in LDR prostate brachytherapy - PubMed

MRI-defined treatment margins, urinary toxicity, and PSA response in LDR prostate brachytherapy - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35210018/

Using MR-CT post implant dosimetry, margin coverage up to 5 mm was excellent with less margin coverage in the AS quadrant. Late ≥ grade 2 toxicity and urinary strictures are...


Conclusions: Using MR-CT post implant dosimetry, margin coverage up to 5 mm was excellent with less margin coverage in the AS quadrant. Late ≥ grade 2 toxicity and urinary strictures are more likely to occur with relative margin excess in the anterior-inferior quadrant and higher doses caudal to the prostate apex. Within this analysis, there...

PARP inhibitors as a radiosensitizer: a future promising approach in prostate cancer? - PubMed

PARP inhibitors as a radiosensitizer: a future promising approach in prostate cancer? - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35211207/

Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors (iPARPs) have shown efficacy in homologous recombination (HR) deficiency patients with advanced castration resistant prostate cancer and have shown a radiosensitizing effect in preclinical and...


Relevance: Due to the biologic synergy of radiotherapy (RT) and iPARPs, the risk of recurrence of high-risk prostate cancer and the morbidity associated with prostate cancer local treatment, this interesting strategy seems promising, and a better understanding of the clinical implications remains to be elucidated.

More evidence that physical activity is beneficial for prostate cancer - Prostate Cancer and Prostatic Diseases

Source : https://www.nature.com/articles/s41391-022-00509-6

There is growing consensus that physical activity is beneficial for men with prostate cancer after diagnosis, with consistent findings observed in multiple large cohort studies over the past 10 years...


Relevance: There is growing consensus that physical activity is beneficial for men with prostate cancer after diagnosis, with consistent findings observed in multiple large cohort studies over the past 10 years for the outcome of prostate cancer-specific mortality and overall mortality.

Diffusion MRI signal cumulants and hepatocyte microstructure at fixed diffusion time: Insights from simulations, 9.4T imaging, and histology - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35181943/

doi: 10.1002/mrm.29174. Online ahead of print. 1 Radiomics Group, Vall d'Hebron Institute of Oncology, Vall d'Hebron Barcelona Hospital Campus, Barcelona, Spain. 2 Prostate Cancer Translational Research Group, Vall d'Hebron Institute...


Conclusion: Salient information about liver cell size and diffusivity may be retrieved from minimal diffusion encodings at fixed diffusion time, in experimental conditions and pathological scenarios for which extracellular, extravascular water and exchange are negligible.

Synergistic Silencing of Skp2 by siRNA Self-Assembled Nanoparticles as a Therapeutic Strategy for Advanced Prostate Cancer - PubMed

Synergistic Silencing of Skp2 by siRNA Self-Assembled Nanoparticles as a Therapeutic Strategy for Advanced Prostate Cancer - PubMed

Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35182014/

Advanced prostate cancer, harboring multiple mutations of tumor suppressor genes, is refractory to conventional therapies. Knockout of the Skp2 gene blocks pRb/p53 doubly deficient prostate cancer in mice, which inspired...


Relevance: Collectively, this study describes a tractable siRNA self-assembled strategy for Skp2 silencing, which might be a promising nanodrug to cure multitherapy-resistant advanced prostate cancer.
