Introduction: Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most common cancer in men. Recurrence may occur in up to half of patients initially treated with curative intent for high-risk localised/locally advanced PCa. Pelvic nodal recurrence is common in this setting, but no clear standard of care exists for these patients, with potential therapeutic approaches including stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) to the involved node(s) alone, extended nodal irradiation (ENI) to treat sites of potential micrometastatic spread in addition to involved node(s) and androgen deprivation therapy with or without additional systemic anticancer therapies.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a global health issue due to its late diagnosis and high recurrence rate. The early detection and diagnosis of HCC with specific and sensitive biomarkers and using novel treatment approaches to improve patient outcomes are essential. Glypican-3 (GPC-3) is a cell surface proteoglycan that is overexpressed in many tumors, including HCC.
