Background: Patients treated with RT and long-term androgen deprivation therapy (ltADT) for high-risk localized prostate cancer (HRLPC) with 1 high-risk factor (any of Gleason ≥8, PSA > 20 ng/mL, ≥cT3; "high-risk") have better outcomes than those with 2-3 factors and/or cN1 disease ("very high risk"). We evaluated whether this risk stratification could determine benefit from ltADT versus short-term (stADT).

Methods: The Intermediate Clinical Endpoints in Cancer of the Prostate (ICECaP) repository of randomized trials was queried to identify eligible patients and trials.

The term "fluorescence" was first proposed nearly two centuries ago, yet its application in clinical medicine has a relatively brief history coming to the fore in the past decade. Nowadays, as fluorescence is gradually expanding into more medical applications, fluorescence image-guided surgery has become the new arena for this technology. It allows surgical teams to real-time visualize target tissues or anatomies intraoperatively to increase the precision of resection or preserve vital structures during open or laparoscopic surgeries.

: Prostate cancer treatment has been revolutionized by targeted therapies, including PARP inhibitors, checkpoint immunotherapies, and PSMA-targeted radiotherapies. Despite such advancements, accurate patient stratification remains a challenge, with current methods relying on genomic markers, tissue staining, and imaging. Extracellular vesicle (EV)-derived proteins offer a novel non-invasive alternative for biomarker discovery, holding promise for improving treatment precision.

Background The sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is the standard method used to determine the stage of breast cancer in patients with no clinical signs of axillary involvement. The current gold standard for the intraoperative assessment of the axilla involves the use of dual radioisotope and patent blue dye. However, researchers have been studying the use of superparamagnetic iron oxide Magtrace® (Endomagnetics Limited, Cambridge, United Kingdom) agents as an alternative to overcome the limitations of the standard SLNB technique.
