Background: Localized prostate cancer (PCa) is a largely heterogeneous disease regarding its clinical behavior. Current risk stratification relies on clinicopathological parameters and distinguishing between indolent and aggressive cases remains challenging. To improve risk stratification, we aimed to identify new prognostic markers for PCa.

Understanding the spatial heterogeneity of tumours and its links to disease initiation and progression is a cornerstone of cancer biology. Presently, histopathology workflows heavily rely on hematoxylin and eosin and serial immunohistochemistry staining, a cumbersome, tissue-exhaustive process that results in non-aligned tissue images. We propose the VirtualMultiplexer, a generative artificial intelligence toolkit that effectively synthesizes multiplexed immunohistochemistry images for several antibody markers (namely AR, NKX3.

Unlabelled: International Society of Urological Pathology grade group 1 (GG 1) prostate cancer (PCa) is generally considered insignificant, with recent suggestions that it should even be considered as "noncancerous". We evaluated outcomes for patients with GG 1 PCa on biopsy (bGG 1) and high-risk features (prostate-specific antigen [PSA] >20 ng/ml and/or cT3-4 stage) to challenge the hypothesis that every case of bGG 1 PCa has a benign disease course. We used the multi-institutional EMPaCT database, which includes data for 9508 patients with high-risk PCa undergoing surgery.

Background And Objective: A meta-analysis of two randomized STAMPEDE platform trials revealed that 3 yr of abiraterone acetate in addition to androgen deprivation therapy and radiation therapy significantly improved metastasis-free and overall survival (OS) in high-risk nonmetastatic prostate cancer (PCa) and should be considered a new standard of care. The aim of our study was to assess long-term cancer-specific survival (CSS) and OS for surgically treated patients with newly diagnosed nonmetastatic node-negative PCa meeting the STAMPEDE criteria for high risk.
Methods: This was a retrospective, multicenter cohort study of patients with European Association of Urology (EAU) high-risk PCa who underwent radical prostatectomy and extended pelvic lymph node dissection.

Objective: To report on the surgical safety and quality of pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) in patients treated with radical cystectomy (RC) and PLND for muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) after neoadjuvant chemo-immunotherapy.
Patients And Methods: The Swiss Group for Clinical Cancer Research (SAKK) 06/17 was an open-label single-arm phase II trial including 61 cisplatin-fit patients with clinical stage (c)T2-T4a cN0-1 operable urothelial MIBC or upper urinary tract cancer. Patients received neoadjuvant cisplatin/gemcitabine and durvalumab followed by surgery.
