Introduction Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is an autosomal recessive disorder primarily caused by 21-hydroxylase enzyme deficiency, impairing cortisol synthesis and resulting in elevated androgen levels. CAH presents in two classical forms: salt-wasting (SW) and simple virilizing (SV). Although CAH is rare in India, regional variations and the absence of a national newborn screening (NBS) program pose significant challenges to accurate diagnosis.

Nuclear receptors (NRs) are ligand-activated transcription factors that regulate gene expression in response to physiological signals, such as hormones and other chemical messengers. These receptors either activate or repress the transcription of target genes, which in turn promotes or suppresses physiological processes governing growth, differentiation, and homeostasis. NRs bind to specific DNA sequences and, in response to ligand binding, either promote or hinder the assembly of the transcriptional machinery, thereby influencing gene expression at the transcriptional level.

Introduction: SPLASH (NCT04647526) is a multicenter phase III trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of [Lu]Lu-PNT2002 radioligand therapy in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). This study leveraged a lead-in phase to assess tissue dosimetry and evaluate preliminary safety and efficacy, prior to expansion into a randomized phase. Here we report those results.

Testicular leiomyoma is an exceptionally rare finding in patients with androgen insensitivity syndrome (AIS). Here, we present a report of a 30-year-old individual diagnosed with complete AIS who presented with an inguinal mass subsequently identified as a right sided testicular leiomyoma. While leiomyoma are generally considered benign, controversies persist regarding the potential for malignancy in inguinal masses among AIS patients.

(Objective) This study aimed at evaluating the efficacy and safety of upfront docetaxel (DTX) treatment and androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) in male patients with high-volume metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (HV-mCSPC). (Methods) This retrospective study was conducted using the medical records of 30 patients treated for HV-mCSPC by using upfront DTX treatment along with ADT at Atsugi City Hospital between December 2015 and December 2022. The patient characteristics, demographics, oncological outcomes, adverse events, and sequential therapy were evaluated.
