Metastatic carcinoma to the testis is very rare. Metastasis of prostate adenocarcinoma to testis was detected incidentally after bilateral orchiectomy for hormonal management of metastatic prostate carcinoma. The metastatic lesion was not identified in physical examination or in macroscopic dissection of the testis after surgery. Microscopy revealed an adenocarcinoma which, given the history of the patient and a positive immunohistochemical stain for PSA, was identified as metastatic prostatic adenocarcinoma.

The management of bone metastases (BoM) requires a multidisciplinary approach to prevent complications, necessitating updated knowledge in light of the rapid advancements in systemic treatments and surgical, interventional radiology or radiation techniques. This review aims to discuss efficacy of new systemic treatments on BoM, the benefits of radiotherapy adjunction, and the optimal methods for combining them. Preliminary evidence suggesting reduced efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI), and several multi-kinase inhibitors regarding BoM may encourage early use of radiotherapy (RT).

We compared the performance of radiomic features to human visual interpretation.
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively analysed 102 hormone-sensitive PCa patients who underwent [F]PSMA-1007 PET/CT and exhibited at least one focal bone uptake with known clinical follow-up (reference standard).
External beam radiation therapy versus radical prostatectomy for high-risk prostate cancer: protocol of the RECOVER study.
BMC Cancer

Netherlands Comprehensive Cancer Organisation, Utrecht, the Netherlands.
Background: This paper describes the rationale and design of the RECOVER study. Currently, there is no consensus regarding the optimal treatment for high-risk, non-metastatic prostate cancer (PCa). The study primarily aims to evaluate and compare the impact of treatment with robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RP) versus external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for men with high-risk, non-metastatic PCa regarding health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and functional outcomes.

The prediction of survival outcomes is a key factor in making decisions for prostate cancer (PCa) treatment. Advances in computer-based technologies have increased the role of machine learning (ML) methods in predicting cancer prognosis. Due to the various effective treatments available for each non-linear landscape of PCa, the integration of ML can help offer tailored treatment strategies and precision medicine approaches, thus improving survival in patients with PCa.
