We present a case of synchronous bilateral renal cell carcinoma and prostate carcinoma in a 62 year old man. In a fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (F-FDG PET) scan, the left renal mass showed intense F-FDG uptake with maximum standardized uptake volume (SUVmax) of 8.12, while uptake in the right renal mass was minimal with SUVmax of 2.99. Fluorine-18-FDG uptake in the prostate gland lesion was moderate with SUVmax of 4.19. Histopathologically, both renal tumors were clear cell renal cell carcinoma with International Society of Urological Pathology (ISUP) Grade 2 and 3 for the right and left kidney, respectively and prostate gland lesion was typical prostate gland carcinoma.

Introduction: Ultrasound imaging (US) is the method of choice to assess the canine prostate gland. Whilst recent studies have documented the role of castration in the development of prostatic neoplasia, little is known about parenchymal and perfusion features of the normal and abnormal prostate in neutered dogs. No data are available concerning prostatic changes after the first 90 days following castration.

Background: A liver abscess caused by hypervirulent can lead to multiple invasive extrahepatic infections, including lung abscesses, endophthalmitis, brain abscesses, and necrotizing fasciitis. This condition, known as liver abscess invasion syndrome, progresses rapidly and is associated with severe illness, high disability rates, and significant mortality. However, bloodstream infections with co-infection involving carbapenem-resistant are exceedingly rare.

Background: Prostate cancer (PC) is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in men and continues to be a major cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. In recent years, non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) have emerged as a significant focus in molecular biology research, playing a pivotal role in the development and progression of PC. This study employed bibliometric analysis to explore the global outputs, research hotspots, and future trends in ncRNA-related PC research over the past 20 years.

Background And Objective: Positive surgical margins (PSMs) following radical prostatectomy (RP) have been seen as inherently unfavorable. However, a large international multi-institutional study recently revealed that unifocal PSMs (UPSMs) had no impact on prostate cancer-specific mortality (PCSM), whereas multifocal PSMs (MPSMs) did. Our aim was to assess the relative impact of PSMs versus percentage tumor volume (PTV) on PCSM.

Background And Objective: Treatment landscape in advanced prostate cancer (PC) is evolving. There is limited understanding of the factors influencing decision-making for genetic/genomic testing and the barriers to recommending testing and treatment in international real-world clinical practice following the approval of poly-adenosine diphosphate-ribose polymerase inhibitors (PARPi) for metastatic castration-resistant PC (mCRPC). This work aims to assess genetic/genomic testing patterns and methods, including for homologous recombination repair mutation (HRRm), and treatment decisions among physicians caring for patients with PC across the USA, Europe, and Asia.
