The treatment landscape of prostate cancer is quite complex because of the many therapeutic options available in different disease settings (hormonal treatments, chemotherapy, poly(adenosine diphosphate ribose) polymerase inhibitors, radiopharmaceutical therapy). Since in most cases we do not have comparative studies between these different agents, the best therapeutic sequence in patients with prostate cancer remains unsolved. In this review, we describe the different systemic therapeutic options available in each disease setting from localized disease to metastatic castration-resistant disease. We also indicate when to use each of these therapeutic options in the therapeutic sequence on the basis of the results of the available studies. A special focus of this review is the place of prostate-specific membrane antigen radiopharmaceutical therapy in the treatment algorithms.

Objective: Prostate cancer (PCa) is a complex disease characterized by diverse cellular ecosystems within the tumor microenvironment (TME) and high tumor heterogeneity, which challenges clinically stratified management and reinforces the need for novel strategies to fight against castration-resistant PCa (CRPC).

Methods: We performed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) on 10 untreated primary PCa tissues and integrated public scRNA-seq resources from three normal prostate tissues, two untreated primary PCa tissues, and six CRPC tumors to portray a comprehensive cellular and molecular interaction atlas of PCa. We further integrated the single-cell and bulk transcriptomes of PCa to establish a molecular classification system.

Isoflavones are currently being investigated by researchers in order to demonstrate their ability to prevent the proliferation of cancer cells. The current review aimed to demonstrate the potential of isoflavones to eliminate cancerous cells in the stomach, liver, lung, breast, and prostate, as their anticancer properties are due to the ability to block the signaling pathways of the extracellular signal-controlled kinase (MAPK/ERK) and proteasome (PI3K/AKT/mTOR). Isoflavones can inhibit the cell division of various cancer cells.
