Prostate Cancer

Even after radical prostatectomy with curative intent, a substantial proportion of men with high-risk prostate cancer will experience disease recurrence. Currently, there is no role for neoadjuvant therapy to reduce recurrence risk. Immunotherapy is a particularly interesting approach in this setting, given the potential for anti-tumor immune responses to be durable.

To evaluate whether an age < 55 years is independently associated with early urinary continence recovery after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) in a large multi-institutional Japanese cohort.

To compare progression-free survival (PFS) in newly diagnosed prostate cancer (PCa) staged with prostate-specific membrane antigen prostate-specific membrane antigen 1007 ([18F]PSMA-1007)-positron emission tomography/contrast-enhanced computed tomography (PET/ceCT) versus sodium fluoride (Na[18F]F)-PET/ceCT.

This work aimed to analyse the expression of and correlation between folate transporters FOLR1, FOLR2, SLC19A1 (reduced folate carrier, RFC), and FOLH1 (PSMA mRNA) in a large cohort of prostate cancer samples, with the goal of better understanding the nature of aggressive disease with low PSMA expression.

Neuroendocrine prostate cancer is a rare and highly aggressive variant of prostate cancer with a poor prognosis. We report a case in which metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer directly transformed into neuroendocrine prostate cancer without a corresponding increase in prostate-specific antigen.

While guidelines state that patients with NCCN favorable intermediate risk (FIR) prostate cancer (PCa) may consider active surveillance (AS), there is a relative lack of longer term follow up data informing AS inclusion criteria of patients with Grade Group (GG) 2 prostate cancer in the MRI era.

The publication of our phase 3 trial of aglatimagene besadenovec in The Lancet Oncology represents an important milestone in the treatment of localized prostate cancer. While the primary publication describes the achievement of the study's primary and secondary endpoints, several aspects of the data deserve additional discussion because they may help inform future research and clinical practice.
First digital pathology-based test to provide individual risk estimates to help inform treatment planning in mHSPC

Las Vegas, Nevada (UroToday.com) -- Artera, the developer of multimodal artificial intelligence (MMAI)-based prognostic and predictive cancer tests, announced the clinical availability of the ArteraAI Prostate Test (mHSPC), the first digital pathology–based prognostic test designed to help inform treatment planning for patients with metastatic hormone‑sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC).
The 2026 ESTRO annual meeting featured a prostate cancer session and a presentation by Dr. Martin King discussing 3-year results from a prospective multicenter randomized controlled trial of stabilized hyaluronic acid spacer for hypofractionated prostate radiation therapy. Over the last decade, there has been an increase in utilization of moderate hypofractionated radiotherapy for low risk and favorable intermediate risk prostate cancer:1

The objective was to develop prognostic models that included convolutional neural networks (CNN) derived from 18F-DCFPyL (PSMA) PET imaging of the primary tumor uptake patterns to prognose early metastatic progression after curative intent treatment for localized prostate cancer.
