Background: Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) kinetics has been investigated as a prognostic marker in post hoc analyses of clinical trials. This study validated the prognostic value of rapid and deep PSA decline in metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) using real-world data.
Methods: In total, 1296 patients with mHSPC were retrospectively reviewed.

Objective: A ureteric stone is a type of urinary tract stone that is found within the ureter. While most cases can be managed with conservative treatment or minimally invasive surgery, these methods often cause significant pain for the patient. Interestingly, a new type of ureteroscope has shown considerable promise in treating patients with ureteric stones, and this study aims to explore its clinical application.

Immunotherapy with checkpoint inhibitors produced significant clinical responses in a subset of cancer patients who were resistant to prior therapies. However, Castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) is seriously lack of T cell infiltration, which greatly limits the clinical application of immunotherapy, but the mechanism is unclear. In the present study, in silico analyses and experimental data show that HnRNP L was significantly negatively correlated with CD4+ and CD8+ T cells infiltration in patients; besides, we found deficiency of HnRNP L recruites CD4+ and CD8+ T cells infiltration and impairs tumorigenesis.
