Some patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) possess germline or acquired defects in the DNA damage repair (DDR) genes BRCA1 and BRCA2. Tumors with BRCA mutations exhibit sensitivity to poly-ADP ribose polymerase inhibitors (PARPi) such as olaparib and rucaparib. As a result, molecular diagnostic testing to identify patients with BRCA mutations eligible for the PARPi therapy has become an integral component of managing patients with mCRPC.

Background: Gastrin releasing peptide receptor (GRPR)-directed radiopharmaceuticals for targeted radionuclide therapy may be a very promising addition in prostate and breast cancer patient management. Aiming to provide a GRPR-targeting theranostic pair, we have utilized the Tc-99m/Re-188 radiometal pair, in combination with two bombesin based antagonists, maSSS-PEG2-RM26 and maSES-PEG2-RM26. The two main aims of the current study were (i) to elucidate the influence of the radiometal-exchange on the biodistribution profile of the two peptides and (ii) to evaluate the feasibility of using the [Tc]Tc labeled counterparts for the dosimetry estimation for the [Re]Re-labeled conjugates.

A complex and often under-appreciated relationship exists between the human microbiome, diet, and the development or progression of cancer. There is likewise an emerging appreciation for the role that the human-associated microbiota play in mediating cancer treatment response. This seminar series covers our current understanding of the interplay between the microbiome and cancer in genitourinary malignancies inclusive of bladder, kidney, and prostate cancers.

Purpose: Prostate-specific membrane-antigen positron emission tomography (PSMA PET) is a promising candidate for non-invasive characterization of prostate cancer (PCa). This study evaluated whether PET with tracers [Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 or [F]PSMA-1007 is capable to depict intratumour heterogeneity of histological PSMA expression.
Methods: Thirty-five patients with biopsy-proven primary PCa without evidence of metastatic disease nor prior interventions were prospectively enrolled.

Cancer screening is considered to be a major strategy for combatting cancer. The United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommends screening for five cancers, but the strength of evidence about the effectiveness of screening is limited. To gain insights into the efficacy of early detection requires prospective, blinded, placebo-controlled clinical trials with decades of follow-up and inclusion of millions of participants.
