The necessity for additional animal models for prostate cancer has recently been stressed. The Pollard model of chemically induced prostate cancer has received attention in this regard although the histiogenetic origin of these tumors has come under question. We independently studied this model for the development of tumors in the prostate region. The tumors, all of which were adenocarcinomas, first became grossly evident 5 months after induction and ultimately occurred in 71% of the animals. Seventy-three % of the tumors involved only the seminal vesicle, 22% involved other portions of the prostatic complex as well as the seminal vesicle, and 5% were located in the coagulating gland (anterior prostate). Although the majority of tumors arose in or involved the seminal vesicle, this may still be a useful model for the study of human prostate cancer because the tumors are adenocarcinomas, occur in the large majority of animals, are hormonally induced, and have the propensity to metastasize.

Introduction: Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in the United States with a high mortality rate. In recent years, the traditional opinion about prostate microbiome was challenged. Although there still are some arguments, an escalating number of researchers are shifting their focus toward the microbiome within the prostate tumor environment.

Prostate cancer (PCa) is a highly common type of malignancy and affects millions of men in the world since it is easy to recur or emerge therapy resistance. Therefore, it is urgent to find novel treatments for PCa patients. In the current study, we found that tegaserod maleate (TM), an FDA-approved agent, inhibited proliferation, colony formation, migration as well as invasion, caused the arrest of the cell cycle, and promoted apoptosis of PCa cells in vitro.

Prostate cancer presents a major health issue, with its progression influenced by intricate molecular factors. Notably, the interplay between miRNAs and changes in transcriptomic patterns is not fully understood. Our study seeks to bridge this knowledge gap, employing computational techniques to explore how miRNAs and transcriptomic alterations jointly regulate the development of prostate cancer.

Purposes: The presence of clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) is equivocal for patients with prostate imaging reporting and data system (PI-RADS) category 3. We aim to develop deep learning models for re-stratify risks in PI-RADS category 3 patients.
Methods: This retrospective study included a bi-parametric MRI of 1567 consecutive male patients from six centers (Centers 1-6) between Jan 2015 and Dec 2020.

Background And Objective: A gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist such as leuprolide is widely used to achieve sustained suppression of testosterone levels, which play a critical role in the treatment of prostate cancer. Recent advances in drug delivery systems have led to the development of long-acting depot formulations, such as the 6-month intramuscular (IM) leuprolide formulation, which aim to simplify dosing and improve convenience for both patients and healthcare providers. Exploring extended dosing intervals for such formulations represents a promising approach to further optimize treatment regimens, potentially balancing efficacy with patient-centered care.
