Orteronel (TAK-700) is an oral, non-steroidal 17,20-lyase inhibitor with higher specificity for 17,20 lyase over 17 hydroxylase. The first phase III studies showed an advantage with orteronel compared with placebo in terms of progression free survival and response of PSA. Unfortunately orteronel did not significantly prolong the overall survival. In order to assess the efficacy of orteronel in prostate cancer, we evaluated all available data on orteronel in the management of prostate cancer. A total of 2716 patients were evaluated from 3 randomized trials. We showed orteronel improved the progression free survival, time to PSA progression and PSA response compared with the placebo. In conclusion, given the limitations a literature rather than on individual patients' data meta-analysis, our data show a clinical efficacy of orteronel in prostate cancer, therefore we deem that orteronel may be investigated in combination with the other approved agents for CRPC or be tested in prior setting of disease such as the hormone sensitive prostate cancer.

Objective: To evaluate the outcomes and efficacy of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) using the Versius robotic surgical system, aiming to provide comprehensive data on perioperative outcomes, postoperative recovery, and complications.

Patient And Methods: All cases of RARP using the CMR Versius platform performed at Cairo University Hospital over a two-year period were enrolled in this study. All patients had pathologically confirmed prostate cancer in both localized and locally advanced stages.

Cancer is a major global health issue that is usually treated with multiple therapies, such as chemotherapy and targeted therapies like immunotherapy. Immunotherapy is a new and alternative approach to treating various types of cancer that are difficult to treat with other methods. Although immune checkpoint inhibitors have shown promise for long-term efficacy, they have limited effectiveness in common cancer types such as breast, prostate, and lung.

Oligorecurrent prostate cancer (PCa) can be treated with metastasis-directed therapy (MDT), which may be performed using radioguided surgery (RGS) as an experimental approach. These procedures have shown promising outcomes, largely due to the high lesion detection rate of positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT). We present a case series of patients who underwent RGS following robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP).

Background And Objective: PARP inhibitor (PARPi) treatment is an effective option for patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). There are few data on the cardiovascular and thromboembolic safety of these agents in mCRPC, as cardiovascular and thromboembolic adverse events (AEs) are uncommon. Our aim was to analyze the incidence and risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs), thromboembolic events, and hypertension with PARPi therapy in mCRPC.
