AI Article Synopsis
- A new case of prostatic carcinosarcoma was reported, highlighting its rarity and aggressive nature.
- The patient presented with a large pelvic mass and pulmonary metastasis, undergoing multiple treatments including cystoprostatectomy and chemotherapy.
- Despite treatment, the cancer progressed rapidly, leading to an 18-month survival, demonstrating that this type of prostate cancer is resistant to standard therapies.
Article Abstract
Objective: To report a new case of prostatic carcinosarcoma, an uncommon and locally and distance aggressive tumor.
Method: We analyzed one case diagnosed in our Center, from clinical and pathological diagnosis to death, describing the treatments received.
Result: Patient presented a huge pelvic mass and a pulmonary metastasis that was treated with cystoprostatectomy and bilateral cutaneous ureterostomy with the diagnosis of carcinosarcoma of the prostate. He received 8 cycles of Docetaxel with bone progression and then 3 cycles of doxorubicin, suspending treatment due to progression. The survival was 18 months.
Conclusions: Prostate carcinosarcoma is a very aggressive neoplasia that does not respond to the usual treatments of prostate cancer.

Ovarian carcinosarcoma in hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome is rare. A 43-year-old woman with a family history of prostate and uterine or ovarian cancer had an 8-cm mass in the right ovary. Although computed tomography suggested peritoneal dissemination to the Douglas pouch, she wanted to preserve her fertility; therefore, she underwent a right salpingo-oophorectomy.

Introduction: Prostatic carcinosarcoma comprises <1% of all prostate neoplasms. The literature on this disease is limited to a few case studies, primarily due to the rarity of this malignancy. We aimed to investigate the demographic, clinical, and histologic factors, prognosis, and survival of prostatic carcinosarcoma.

Article Synopsis
- APOBEC type 3C (A3C) is identified as a potential cancer biomarker for lower-grade gliomas (LGGs), but its specific role in improving clinical outcomes through immunotherapy is still unclear.
- Research utilized RNA sequencing and bioinformatic analyses to find that A3C is expressed significantly higher in LGGs compared to normal tissues, making it an independent predictor for patient prognosis.
- The study also discovered that A3C is associated with immune cell infiltration and chemotherapy sensitivity, suggesting that targeting A3C could improve immunotherapy effectiveness for LGGs.

Background: is a very common tumor suppressor gene and has implicated in various cancers. A systematic immunological analysis of somatic mutation classification in multiple cancers is still lacking.
Methods: To assess the immunological value of somatic mutation classification in various cancers, we integrated a series of bioinformatics methods to analyze the role of gene across the public databases, such as UCSC Xena, Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia (CCLE), Ensembl, and Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx).
