Patients with advanced seminoma have an exceedingly favorable prognosis. Studies aiming to reduce the total treatment burden and side effects in patients with well-defined disease and very good prognosis are warranted.
Though radical nephroureterectomy remains the gold standard treatment for high grade or invasive disease in upper tract urothelial cancer (UTUC), kidney-sparing surgery has become preferred for low risk disease, in order to minimize morbidity and preserve renal function.
Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most common subtype of kidney cancer. It is highly vascularized and largely resistant to traditional chemo- and radiotherapy. Decreases in tumour suppressors and low levels of the anti-inflammatory Monocyte Chemoattractant Protein-Induced Protein 1 (MCPIP1) play important roles in the development and progression of ccRCC.
Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) play a key role in cancer progression, especially metastasis, due to the rarity and heterogeneity of CTCs, fewer researches have been conducted on them at the molecular level.
Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) represents the most common subtype of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). In spite of recent advances in the treatment armamentarium and outcomes with the combined use of immune checkpoint and angiogenesis inhibitors, prediction of responses and selection of patients remain a challenge.
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Latin American radiation therapy services has not yet been widely assessed. In comparison to centers in Europe or the United States, the scarcity of data on these terms might impair design of adequate measures to ameliorate the pandemic’s potential damage.
Autoantibody responses in cancer are of great interest, as they may be concordant with T-cell responses to cancer antigens or predictive of response to cancer immunotherapies. Thus, we sought to characterize the antibody landscape of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).
Prostate cancer is a common neoplasm worldwide, and the sixth most common cause of cancer-related mortality. Biomarkers for earlier diagnosis and improved treatment alternatives are critical. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) can promote the growth and progression of various cancers; however, prostate cancer-specific circRNAs have not been found.
Taxanes and anthracyclines have been among the best-studied chemotherapy classes in castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Docetaxel (D) 75 mg/m2 every 3 weeks has been the standard first line chemotherapy for CRPC.
Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is the mainstay for the management of metastatic prostate cancer. Available pharmaceutical ADTs include gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists and antagonists.
