Background: In-bore MRI prostate biopsy offers improved visualisation and detection of significant prostate cancer; however, it is not widely practiced in cancer diagnosis due to its associated costs.
Methods: This work introduces the first prototype towards a 7-degrees-of-freedom (DOF) MRI-conditional piezoelectrically actuated robotic system for transperineal prostate biopsy. The robot enables needle insertions in the desired trajectories. Kinematic and static models of the active needle as well as automated control of the robot are presented.
Results: It is shown that the controller can force the needle to realize the reference sine and triangular bending angles with an accuracy of 1.78 and 1.88°, respectively, in air. The trajectory tracking capability of the system in free space is shown with an RMS error of 0.86 mm and a standard deviation of 0.36 mm.
Conclusions: The robot's capability to steer the needle towards target inside a phantom and extract a sample was evaluated.

RBM family proteins plays the critical role in the progression of numerous tumors. However, whether RBM family proteins involved in prostate cancer (PCa) progression is remain elucidated. In our study, an RNAi screen containing shRNA library targeting 54 members of the RBM family was applied to identify the critical RBM proteins involved in prostate cancer progression under docetaxel treatment, and RBM19 was selected.

Six-transmembrane epithelial antigen of prostate 3 (STEAP3), a member of the iron regulation protein family, is characterized by a high recurrence rate and a short survival time. Nevertheless, studies investigating the role of STEAP3 in glioblastoma (GB) are scarce. In this study, the prognostic value of STEAP3 was evaluated utilizing mRNA expression profiles from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) databases as the validation and training cohorts, respectively.

This study aimed to identify the predictive factors associated with the oncological outcomes of metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer-related genes. A nomogram for predicting prostate cancer-specific survival (CSS) was constructed based on biopsy samples obtained from 103 patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer. We analyzed the association between clinical data and mRNA expression levels.

Rationale And Objectives: To assess the predictive value of MRI-based radiomics of periprostatic fat (PPF) and tumor lesions for predicting Gleason score (GS) upgrading from biopsy to radical prostatectomy (RP) in prostate cancer (PCa).
Methods: A total of 314 patients with pathologically confirmed prostate cancer (PCa) after radical prostatectomy (RP) were included in the study. The patients were randomly assigned to the training cohort (n = 157) and the validating cohort (n = 157) in a 1:1 ratio.

Background And Objective: A standardized intraoperative frozen section analysis of the prostate resection margin adjacent to the neurovascular bundle according to the NeuroSAFE technique is performed to maximize nerve sparing during radical prostatectomy (RP) for prostate cancer (PCa). The aim of this review was to analyze oncological and functional outcomes of NeuroSAFE.
Methods: A systematic search of the Medline, Embase, and Web of Science databases until July 2024 was performed.
