ration imaging techniques capable of detecting hitherto undetectable oligometastatic disease in patients with nmCRPC has fostered debate on the criteria that inform the management of these patients. However, despite these developments, published consensus statements have maintained that the absence of metastases on conventional imaging suffices to guide such therapeutic decisions. In addition, the prolonged metastasis-free survival and recently reported positive overall survival outcomes of the three second-generation androgen receptor inhibitors have provided further evidence for the early use of these agents in patients with nmCRPC in order to delay metastases and prolong survival. Here, we discuss the benefit-risk profiles of apalutamide, enzalutamide, and darolutamide based on the data available from their pivotal clinical trials in patients with nmCRPC.
Prostate cancer spans a broad spectrum from indolent to deadly disease. In the management of prostate cancer, diagnostic biopsy specimens are important sources of data that inform the selection of treatment. B7-H3 (CD276), an immune checkpoint molecule, has emerged as a promising immunotherapy target. B7-H3 expression is related to adverse clinical outcomes in various types of cancer; however, little is known concerning the association between tumor B7-H3 expression in diagnostic biopsy specimens and clinical outcome in patients with metastatic prostate cancer.

We evaluated tumor B7-H3 expression levels in diagnostic biopsy specimens from 135 patients with metastatic prostate cancer and 113 patients with localized prostate cancer.

High B7-H3 expression was more frequently observed in patients with metastatic cancer than in those with localized cancer (31 vs. 12%; p = 0.0003). In patients with localized cancer, the B7-H3 expression status was not associated with biochemical recurrence-free survival. However, among patients with metastatic cancer, high B7-H3 expression was independently associated with high disease-specific mortality (multivariable hazard ratio [HR] = 2.72; p = 0.047) and overall mortality rates (multivariable HR = 2.04; p = 0.025).

Tumor B7-H3 expression in diagnostic biopsy specimens may be a useful biomarker for identifying highly aggressive metastatic prostate cancer. Given the potential utility of anti-B7-H3 immunotherapy, this information may aid in stratifying prostate cancer based on its responsiveness to B7-H3-targeted treatment.

We explored the association of prostate cryotherapy and immunomodulation with granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GMCSF) in the generation of detectable tumor-specific T- and B-cell responses in men with prostate cancer.

A randomized pilot study of patients assigned to either cryotherapy alone (Control group) or in combination with GMCSF (Treatment group). The impact of therapy on the development of T- and B-cell responses against tumor-related antigens was studied using enzyme-linked immune absorbent spot (ELISpot) and protein microarray panels (Sematrix) assays, respectively. CSF-1R inhibitor Fold changes in response to treatment were calculated by normalization of post-treatment ELISpot values against the mean pre-cryoablation response. Student t tests between treatment and control groups at 4 weeks and 12 weeks across all the antigens were performed.

A total of 20 patients were randomized to either control or treatment arm. At 4 weeks after cryotherapy, the treatment group demonstrated an average fold anced over non-prostate-specific responses, preferentially in the treatment group. Our findings suggest a possible therapeutic effect of adjuvant immunotherapy in association with cryotherapy for the treatment of prostate cancer.
To assess the long-term effects of various exercise modes on psychological distress in men with prostate cancer on androgen deprivation therapy (ADT).

135 prostate cancer patients aged 43-90 years on ADT were randomized to twice weekly supervised impact loading and resistance exercise (ImpRes), supervised aerobic and resistance exercise (AerRes), and usual care/delayed supervised aerobic exercise (DelAer) for 12 months, and completed measures of psychological distress using the Brief Symptom Inventory-18 (BSI-18). BSI-18 provides three subscales for anxiety, depression, and somatisation, as well as the global severity index (GSI) where higher scores indicate higher distress.

Following the intervention, somatization was not different to baseline, however, there were significant interactions (p < 0.01) for depression, anxiety, and the GSI. In ImpRes, depression was reduced at 12 months compared to baseline and 6 months (0.78 ± 1.39 vs. 1.88 ± 3.24 and 1.48 ± 2.65, p < 0.001), as was the GSI (3.67 ± roved the most. Supervised exercise should be prescribed to improve psychological health in prostate cancer patients on ADT.
Biopsy after external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) for localised prostate cancer (PCa) is an infrequently used but potentially valuable technique to evaluate local recurrence and predict long-term outcomes.

We performed a meta-analysis of studies until March 2020 where a post-EBRT biopsy was performed on patients with low-to intermediate risk PCa, according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) statement. The primary outcome was the aggregate post-EBRT positive biopsy rate (≥2 years after EBRT) and the associated odds ratio (OR) of a positive biopsy on biochemical failure (BCF), distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS) and prostate cancer-specific mortality (PCSM). A sensitivity analysis was performed which examined biopsy rate as a function of post-EBRT biopsy protocol, PCa risk, ADT usage and radiation dose.

A total of 22 studies were included, of which 10 were randomised controlled trials and 12 were cohort studies. Nine out of the 22 studies used dosing regimens consistent with the 2020 NCCN radiotherapy guidelines.
