Prostate carcinoma presenting initially as multiple pulmonary nodules in an asymptomatic patient without previous prostate carcinoma is unusual. Whether the incidence of prostate carcinoma is significantly increased in patients treated previously for germ cell tumors is unclear. We report such a patient, who responded to combination androgen blockade therapy.

Case Report: Metastatic involvement of the acromioclavicular joint in a patient with papillary carcinoma of the ureter.

Ureteral papillary carcinoma is a rare subtype of urothelial carcinoma, ranking fourth among cancers following prostate (or breast) cancer, lung cancer, and colorectal cancer. Although previous studies have documented bone metastases mainly in the pelvis, spine, ribs, and femur, this case report presents the first recorded instance of metastasis occurring in the acromioclavicular joint. A 62-year-old woman with a history of left flank pain and macroscopic hematuria underwent a left nephroureterectomy, which revealed ureteral papillary carcinoma.

Objective: We investigated the impact of intraoperative tumor capsule injury (TCI) during robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) or laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) on oncological outcomes, as well as underlying factors of intraoperative TCI for improving surgical outcomes.
Methods: A total of 253 patients who underwent RAPN or LPN between 2010 and 2022 were retrospectively analyzed and were divided into two groups: non-TCI and TCI groups. The background was compared between two groups.
Purine-rich element binding protein alpha: a DNA/RNA binding protein with multiple roles in cancers.

Proteins that bind to DNA/RNA are typically evolutionarily conserved with multiple regulatory functions in transcription initiation, mRNA translation, stability of RNAs, and RNA splicing. Therefore, dysregulation of DNA/RNA binding proteins such as purine-rich element binding protein alpha (PURα) disrupts signaling transduction and often leads to human diseases including cancer. PURα was initially recognized as a tumor suppressor in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and prostate cancer (PC).

Patient stratification remains a challenge for optimal treatment of prostate cancer (PCa). This clinical heterogeneity implies intra-tumoural heterogeneity, with different prostate epithelial cell subtypes not all targeted by current treatments. We reported that such cell subtypes are traceable in liquid biopsies through representative transcripts.

Background The accurate diagnosis of intraductal carcinoma of the prostate (IDC-P) is occasionally challenging due to the similarity in pathological morphology between IDC-P and high-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (HGPIN). In this report, we reviewed the pathology of cases previously diagnosed as HGPIN to search for IDC-P cases effectively. In addition, we examined whether those cases had genetic abnormalities.
