Life expectancy for patients suffering from prostate cancer is inversely correlated with the degree of extraprostatic metastasis. In order to find pharmacological tools to treat this aggressive growth it is important to define targets whose expression not only correlates with the malignancy of the cancerous cells, but that are also amenable to pharmacological intervention. In this review, we would like to focus on the potential role of a distinct class of ion channels that may be involved in this process.

Cancer is a major global health issue that is usually treated with multiple therapies, such as chemotherapy and targeted therapies like immunotherapy. Immunotherapy is a new and alternative approach to treating various types of cancer that are difficult to treat with other methods. Although immune checkpoint inhibitors have shown promise for long-term efficacy, they have limited effectiveness in common cancer types such as breast, prostate, and lung.

Oligorecurrent prostate cancer (PCa) can be treated with metastasis-directed therapy (MDT), which may be performed using radioguided surgery (RGS) as an experimental approach. These procedures have shown promising outcomes, largely due to the high lesion detection rate of positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT). We present a case series of patients who underwent RGS following robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP).

Incidence and Risk of Thromboembolic and Cardiovascular Adverse Events with PARP Inhibitor Treatment in Patients with Metastatic Castration-resistant Prostate Cancer: A Systematic Review and Safety Meta-analysis.

Department of Medical Oncology, IRCCS San Raffaele Hospital, Milan, Italy.
Background And Objective: PARP inhibitor (PARPi) treatment is an effective option for patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). There are few data on the cardiovascular and thromboembolic safety of these agents in mCRPC, as cardiovascular and thromboembolic adverse events (AEs) are uncommon. Our aim was to analyze the incidence and risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs), thromboembolic events, and hypertension with PARPi therapy in mCRPC.
