Adoptive immunotherapy using chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells has made significant success in treating hematological malignancies, paving the way for solid tumors like prostate cancer. However, progress is impeded by a paucity of suitable target antigens. A novel carbohydrate antigen, F77, is expressed on both androgen-dependent and androgen-independent prostate cancer cells, making it a potential immunotherapy target. This study entails the generation and evaluation of a second-generation CAR against a carbohydrate antigen on malignant prostate cancer cells. Using a single chain fragment variable (scFv) from an F77-specific mouse monoclonal antibody, we created second-generation CARs with CD28 and CD137 (4-1BB) costimulatory signals. F77 expressing lentiviral CAR T cells produce cytokines and kill tumor cells in a F77 expression-dependent manner. These F77-specific CAR T cells eradicate prostate tumors in a human xenograft model employing PC3 cells. These findings validate F77 as a promising immunotherapeutic target for prostate cancer and other malignancies with this aberrant carbohydrate structure.

For individuals at high risk of developing breast cancer, interventions to mitigate this risk include surgical removal of their breasts and ovaries or five years treatment with the anti-estrogen tamoxifen or aromatase inhibitors. We hypothesized that a silicone based anti-estrogen-eluting implant placed within the breast would provide the risk reduction benefit of hormonal therapy, but without the adverse effects that limit compliance. To this end, we demonstrate that when placed adjacent to mammary tissue in the 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene-induced rat breast cancer model a fulvestrant-eluting implant delays breast cancer with minimal systemic exposure.

Background And Objective: Selection of patients harboring mutations in homologous recombination repair (HRR) genes for treatment with a PARP inhibitor (PARPi) is challenging in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). To gain further insight, we quantitatively assessed the differential efficacy of PARPi therapy among patients with mCRPC and different HRR gene mutations.
Methods: This living meta-analysis (LMA) was conducted using the Living Interactive Evidence synthesis framework.

Background And Objective: There is an established association between secondary bladder cancers (SBCs) and radiotherapy (RT) for prostate cancer (PC), which remains a significant concern. Our aim was to update the evidence on SBC incidence across different RT modalities and to compare oncological outcomes for patients diagnosed with SBC to those diagnosed with primary bladder cancer (PBC).
Methods: We searched MEDLINE, Scopus, and Web of Science for studies on SBC following PC.

Radiopharmaceuticals targeting prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) have emerged as a sensitive tool for PET imaging of prostate cancer (PCa) recurrence. Yet urinary bladder activity may obscure the visualization of prostate bed recurrence. Among the Food and Drug Administration-approved PSMA radiopharmaceuticals, F-flotufolastat (rhPSMA-7.

The ligand-binding pocket of the androgen receptor (AR) is the targeting site of all clinically used AR antagonists. However, various drug-resistant mutations emerged in the pocket. We previously reported a new targeting site at the dimer interface of AR (dimer interface pocket) and identified a novel antagonist M17-B15 that failed in oral administration.
