AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Prostate anatomy has been the subject of controversy for 200 years. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, lobar anatomy was accepted. Beginning in 1968 and for the next 25 years, John E. McNeal presented his view of prostate anatomy in terms of 4 anatomic zones. The transition zone was introduced in 1978 as the site of development of benign prostatic hyperplasia. This review was undertaken to describe the evolution of McNeal's anatomic concepts.

Aim: Prostate cancer (PCa) is a common malignant tumor in men. This study aimed to explore the predictive value of serum biomarkers combined with ultrasound parameters for postoperative Gleason grading in PCa.
Methods: This study included 65 PCa patients who underwent transurethral resection of the prostate in our hospital from January 2021 to December 2023.

Background: Performance status and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) are important parameters in the management of metastatic prostate cancer. The clinician-rated Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ECOG-PS) may not relate with the patient-reported HRQoL because the later puts into consideration some aspects of health that are not captured by the former. The aim of this study is to define the relationship between clinician-rated ECOG-PS and the patient-reported HRQoL in men with metastatic hormone-naïve prostate cancer (mPCa).

Radiotherapy is an integral modality in treating human cancers, but radioresistance remains a clinical challenge due to the involvement of multiple intrinsic cellular and extrinsic tumour microenvironment factors that govern radiosensitivity. To study the intrinsic factors that are associated with cancer radioresistance, we established 4 radioresistant prostate (22Rv1 and DU145) and head and neck cancer (FaDu and HK1) models by irradiating their wild-type parentals to 90 Gy, mimicking the fractionated radiotherapy schema that is often using in the clinic, and performed whole exome and transcriptome sequencing of the radioresistant and wild-type models. Comparative genomic analyses detected the enrichment of mismatch repair mutational signatures (SBS6, 14, 15, 20) across all the cell lines and several non-synonymous single nucleotide variants involved in pro-survival pathways.

Background MRI-guided focal laser ablation (FLA) is a promising treatment in localized prostate cancer (PCa). MRI-guided micro-US FLA shows potential for outpatient use, but its clinical application remains unexplored. Purpose To evaluate the safety, feasibility, and 12-month functional and oncologic outcomes of MRI-guided micro-US transperineal FLA in localized PCa and to assess the accuracy of micro-US in showing lesions depicted at MRI with Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) score of 3 or higher.

Prostate cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related death in men worldwide. Luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone receptor (LHRH-R) agonists and antagonists are known to achieve castration-level testosterone suppression; however, long-term data comparing the survival benefits of these therapies are insufficient to inform treatment decisions. Furthermore, the advent of next-generation hormonal agents (NHAs), such as abiraterone and enzalutamide, have shifted the paradigm of managing prostate cancer.
