Published: November 2000

Acoustic brainstem response (ABR) waveforms were preoperatively analyzed in 86 cases of pontocerebellar angle (PCA) tumors. Absolute (APL) and interpeak latencies (IPL) ipsilateral to the tumor and interaural absolute latency differences of wave V (IAAPLD V) were normal in two patients with small intracanalicular tumors. However, results of latency-intensity studies were abnormal. So, if PCA tumor is suspected, and standard ABRs are normal by usual criteria, the latency-intensity functions should be examined before the test result is reported as negative for an acoustic nerve tumor.

Purpose To validate a deep learning (DL) model for predicting the risk of prostate cancer (PCa) progression based on MRI and clinical parameters and compare it with established models. Materials and Methods This retrospective study included 1607 MRI scans of 1143 male patients (median age, 64 years; IQR, 59-68 years) undergoing MRI for suspicion of clinically significant PCa (csPCa) (International Society of Urological Pathology grade > 1) between January 2012 and May 2022 who were negative for csPCa at baseline MRI. A DL model was developed using baseline MRI and clinical parameters (age, prostate-specific antigen [PSA] level, PSA density, and prostate volume) to predict the time to PCa progression (defined as csPCa diagnosis at follow-up).

Background: Cytokeratins are intracellular proteins known as diagnostic biomarkers or prognostic factors for certain cancers. Cytokeratin 19 (CK-19) expression has been proven to have prognostic value for some cancers, but its relationship with others, such as prostate cancer (PCa), remains unclear. This systematic review article aimed to examine the relationship between CK-19 expression and prostate adenocarcinoma (PAC).

Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most common cancers in men worldwide. Autophagy-related genes (ARGs) may play an important role in various biological processes of PCa. The aim of this study was to identify and evaluate autophagy-related features to predict clinical outcomes in patients with PCa.

Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most prevalent cancer in men and the leading cause of cancer-related mortality. Recent studies have highlighted the pivotal role of glycolysis in tumor progression. This study aimed to investigate the involvement of the EDNRB gene and its ligand endothelin 3 (EDN3) in glycolysis in PCa and to elucidate its underlying molecular mechanism.

Prostate cancer (PCa) has emerged to be the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in men. Molecular imaging of PCa using targeted radiopharmaceuticals specifically to PCa cells promises accurate staging of primary disease, detection of localized and metastasized tumours, and helps predict the progression of the disease. Glutamate urea heterodimers have been popularly used as high-affinity small molecules in the binding pockets of popular and well-characterized PCa biomarker, prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA).
