Background: Tumor suppressors are well known drivers of cancer invasion and metastasis in metastatic castration sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC). However, oncogenes are also known to be altered in this state, however the frequency and prognosis of these alterations are unclear. Thus, we aimed to study the spectrum of oncogene mutations in mCSPC and study the significance of these alteration on outcomes.

This study was conducted at Kocaeli University Hospital in Turkey and aimed to predict carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae infection in intensive care units using the Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) algorithm, a form of artificial intelligence. This was a retrospective case-control study involving 289 patients, including 159 carbapenem-resistant and 130 carbapenem-susceptible individuals as controls. The model's predictive analysis combined a diverse range of demographic, clinical, and laboratory data, resulting in an average accuracy of 83.

Article Synopsis
  • This study explored the use of diffusion-weighted MRI to evaluate prostate cancer patients with Gleason score 7 tumors before radiotherapy, focusing on the correlation between MRI results, cancer characteristics, and treatment outcomes.
  • It was found that tumors classified as GS 3+4 had higher ADC values compared to GS 4+3 tumors, indicating a difference in disease aggression, with lower ADC values linked to poorer survival rates.
  • The research concluded that ADC values could serve as an effective biomarker to distinguish between different types of GS 7 tumors, with lower values correlating with a higher risk of disease progression and worse long-term outcomes.
