: Tumor-to-meningioma metastasis (TTMM) is an uncommon phenomenon, in which a primary malignant tumor metastasizes to a recipient preexisting meningioma. Herein, the authors report a case of a 74-year-old man with a known history of metastatic prostate adenocarcinoma who with frontal headache and right orbital apex syndrome. Initial CT studies demonstrated a right orbital roof osseous lesion. Subsequent MRI was reported as characteristic of an intraosseous meningioma with intracranial and intraorbital extensions. A biopsy of the right orbital mass was obtained and returned a diagnosis of metastatic prostate cancer. The combination of imaging and pathologic findings suggested that the clinical scenario was overall most in keeping with a skull bone-based prostate adenocarcinoma metastasis infiltrating a preexisting meningioma. This is a rare case of TTMM in an orbit-based meningioma, presenting with an orbital apex syndrome.

Background: Current diagnostic imaging modalities have limited ability to differentiate between malignant and benign pancreaticobiliary disease, and lack accuracy in detecting lymph node metastases. F-Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen (PSMA) PET/CT is an imaging modality used for staging of prostate cancer, but has incidentally also identified PSMA-avid pancreatic lesions, histologically characterized as pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). This phase I/II study aimed to assess the feasibility of F-PSMA PET/CT to detect PDAC.

Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most common cancer in men globally. Its growth is driven by oxidative stress associated with inflammation, aging, and environmental factors, including diet and lifestyle. These factors contribute to multiple stages of PCa progression, including progression to castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC).

The initiation and progression of prostate cancer (PCa) are associated with aging. In the history of age-related PCa research, mice have become a more popular animal model option than any other species due to their short lifespan and rapid reproduction. However, PCa in mice is usually induced at a relatively young age, while it spontaneously develops in humans at an older age.

Here, we describe the case of a 74-year-old male patient with a high-risk prostate carcinoma who underwent positron-emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) with [Ga]Ga-prostate-specific membrane antigen ([Ga]Ga-PSMA-11) for staging. [Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT detected an extensive area of increased tracer uptake at the prostatic level, involving both lobes. Additionally, a rounded lesion approximately 4 cm in diameter was identified in the celiac region adjacent to the stomach, exhibiting moderate tracer uptake.

Background: Cytokeratins are intracellular proteins known as diagnostic biomarkers or prognostic factors for certain cancers. Cytokeratin 19 (CK-19) expression has been proven to have prognostic value for some cancers, but its relationship with others, such as prostate cancer (PCa), remains unclear. This systematic review article aimed to examine the relationship between CK-19 expression and prostate adenocarcinoma (PAC).
