ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling by the mating type switching/sucrose non-fermenting (SWI/SNF) complex is a basic biological event in the body, which is required for all the key processes involved in DNA metabolism such as gene expression, DNA replication, repair, chromosomal recombination and mitosis. In the past few years, increasing evidence supports a crucial role of this complex in prostate cancer development and progression via multiple ways, such as cell cycle regulation, androgen receptor pathway and DNA methylation. The present paper briefly reviews the recent studies on the association between the SWI/SNF complex and prostate cancer.

The overexpression of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in certain types of prostate cancers and glioblastoma makes it a promising target for targeted radioligand therapy. In this context, pairing an EGFR-targeting peptide with the emerging theranostic pair comprising the Auger electron emitter cobalt-58m (Co) and the Positron Emission Tomography-isotope cobalt-55 (Co) would be of great interest for creating novel radiopharmaceuticals for prostate cancer and glioblastoma theranostics. In this study, GE11 (YHWYGYTPQNVI) was investigated for its EGFR-targeting potential when conjugated using click chemistry to N1-((triazol-4-yl)methyl)-N1,N2,N2-tris(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)ethane-1,2-diamine (TZTPEN).

Radiation therapy (RT) is the cornerstone treatment for prostate cancer; however, it frequently induces gastrointestinal and genitourinary toxicities that substantially diminish the patients' quality of life. While many individuals experience transient side effects, a subset endures persistent, long-term complications. A promising strategy to mitigate these toxicities involves enhancing tumor radiosensitivity, potentially allowing for lower radiation doses.

Bacterial prostatitis (BP) is a common prostatic infection characterized by pain and urinary symptoms, often with negative bacterial cultures from prostatic secretions. It affects young and older men bimodally and impacts quality of life (QoL) significantly. : Treatment typically involves antibiotics, but a multimodal approach with additional nutraceuticals may enhance outcomes.

Performing hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining and immunohistochemistry (IHC) on the same specimen slide provides advantages that include specimen conservation and the ability to combine the H&E context with biomarker expression at the individual cell level. We previously used invisible deposited chromogens and dual-camera imaging, including monochrome and color cameras, to implement simultaneous H&E and IHC. Using this approach, conventional H&E staining could be simultaneously viewed in color on a computer monitor alongside a monochrome video of the invisible IHC staining, while manually scanning the specimen.

The discovery of cisplatin (cisPt) as an effective anticancer agent was a milestone in the health industry. Despite its success, undesired side effects and acquired resistance still limit the therapeutic usefulness of cisPt. Intrastrand adduct formation at consecutive purines and structural modifications of DNA caused by platinum(II) complexes are important factors for antitumor efficacy.
