RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The first approvals of novel systemic therapies within recent years for metastatic hormone-sensitive (mHSPC) were mainly based on improved overall survival (OS) and time to castration resistance (ttCRPC) in mHSPC patients stratified according to CHAARTED low (LV) versus high volume (HV) and LATITUDE low (LR) versus high-risk (HR) disease. METHODS: Relying on our institutional tertiary-care database we identified all mHSPC stratified according to CHAARTED LV versus HV, LATITUDE LR versus HR and the location of the metastatic spread (lymph nodes (M1a) versus bone (M1b) versus visceral/others (M1c) metastases. OS and ttCRPC analyses, as well as Cox regression models were performed according to different metastatic categories. RESULTS: Of 451 mHSPC, 14% versus 27% versus 48% versus 12% were classified as M1a LV versus M1b LV versus M1b HV versus M1c HV with significant differences in median OS: 95 versus 64 versus 50 versus 46 months (p < 0.001). In multivariable Cox regression models HV M1b (Hazard Ratio: 2.4, p = 0.03) and HV M1c (Hazard Ratio: 3.3, p < 0.01) harbored significant worse than M1a LV mHSPC. After stratification according to LATITUDE criteria, also significant differences between M1a LR versus M1b LR versus M1b HR versus M1c HR mHSPC patients were observed (p < 0.01) with M1b HR (Hazard Ratio: 2.7, p = 0.03) and M1c HR (Hazard Ratio: 3.5, p < 0.01), as predictor for worse OS. In comparison between HV M1b and HV M1c, as well as HR M1b versus HR M1c no differences in ttCRPC or OS were observed. CONCLUSIONS: Significant differences exist between different metastatic patterns of HV and LV and HR and LR criteria. Best prognosis is observed within M1a LV and LR mHSPC patients.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: In contemporary surgically treated patients with localized high-grade (G3 or G4) clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), it is not known whether presence of sarcomatoid dedifferentiation is an independent predictor and/or an effect modifier, when cancer-specific mortality (CSM) represents an endpoint. METHODS: Within the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database, all surgically treated localized high-grade ccRCC patients treated between 2010 and 2020 were identified. Univariable and multivariable Cox-regression models were used. RESULTS: In 18,853 surgically treated localized high-grade (G3 or G4) ccRCC patients, 5-year CSM-free survival was 87% (62% vs. 88% with vs. without sarcomatoid dedifferentiation, p < 0.001). Presence of sarcomatoid dedifferentiation was an independent predictor of higher CSM (hazard ratio [HR] 1.8, p < 0.001). In univariable survival analyses predicting CSM, presence versus absence of sarcomatoid dedifferentiation in G3 versus G4 yielded the following hazard ratios: HR 1.0 in absent sarcomatoid dedifferentiation in G3; HR 2.7 (p < 0.001) in absent sarcomatoid dedifferentiation in G4; HR 3.9 (p < 0.001) in present sarcomatoid dedifferentiation in G3; HR 5.1 (p < 0.001) in present sarcomatoid dedifferentiation in G4. Finally, in multivariable Cox-regression analyses, the interaction terms defining present versus absent sarcomatoid dedifferentiation in G3 versus G4 represented independent predictors of higher CSM. CONCLUSIONS: In contemporary surgically treated patients with localized high-grade ccRCC, sarcomatoid dedifferentiation is not only an independent multivariable predictor of higher CSM, but also interacts with tumor grade and results in even better ability to predict CSM.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: To investigate alterations of homologous recombination repair (HRR) and especially BReast CAncer 1/2 (BRCA1/2) gene on overall survival (OS). Moreover, to explore the effect of inhibition of poly(ADP-ribose)-polymerase (PARPi) as systemic therapy for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Of all HRR-screened patients with metastatic prostate cancer, baseline characteristics were sampled. Kaplan-Meier estimates and multivariable Cox regression models predicted the effect of HRR/BRCA1/2 alterations on OS. RESULTS: Of 196 eligible patients, 61 (31%) harboured any HRR and 40 (20%) BRCA1/2 alterations. Of HRR alterations, 40 (66%) vs six (10%) vs five (8.2%) vs four (6.6%) vs two (3.3%) vs four (6.6%) were BRCA1/2 vs Ataxia-telangiectasia mutated kinase (ATM) vs checkpoint kinase 2 (CHEK2) vs cyclin-dependent kinase 12 (CDK12) vs Fanconi anaemia complementation Group A (FANCA) vs positive for other mutations. Of these, 30% received a PARPi. OS differed significantly between HRR-positive vs -negative patients. Specifically in hormone-sensitive prostate cancer, the median OS was 63 (HRR positive) vs 57 (BRCA1/2 positive) vs 113 months (HRR negative) (P ≤ 0.01). In mCRPC, OS was 42 (HRR positive) vs 41 (BRCA1/2 positive) vs 70 months (HRR negative) (P ≤ 0.01). HRR and BRCA1/2 alterations were associated with worse OS after multivariable adjustment. Finally, patients with mCRPC with BRCA1/2 mutation treated without PARPi harboured worse OS than patients with BRCA1/2 mutation and PARPi therapy (median OS: 33 vs 48 months, P < 0.03). CONCLUSION: Incidence of HRR alteration in a clinical real-world setting is high when using blood- and tissue-based tests. Patients with HRR/BRCA alterations have worse outcomes resulting in significant OS differences between HRR/BRCA-positive patients with mCRPC with and without PARPi usage vs HRR/BRCA-negative patients.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: We hypothesized that the evolving treatment paradigms recommended based on phase III trials may have translated into improved overall survival (OS) in contemporary community-based patients with clear-cell metastatic renal cell carcinoma (ccmRCC) undergoing active treatment. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Within the SEER database, contemporary (2017-2020) and historical (2010-2016) patients with ccmRCC treated with either systemic therapy (ST), cytoreductive nephrectomy (CN), or both (ST+CN) were identified. Univariable and multivariable Cox-regression models were used. RESULTS: Overall, 993 (32%) contemporary versus 2,106 (68%) historical patients with ccmRCC were identified. Median OS was 41 months in contemporary versus 25 months in historical patients (Δ=16 months; P<.001). In multivariable Cox-regression analyses, contemporary membership was independently associated with lower overall mortality (hazard ratio [HR], 0.7; 95% CI, 0.6-0.8; P<.001). In patients treated with ST alone, median OS was 17 months in contemporary versus 10 months in historical patients (Δ=7 months; P<.001; multivariable HR, 0.7; P=.005). In patients treated with CN alone, median OS was not reached in contemporary versus 33 months in historical patients (Δ=not available; P<.001; multivariable HR, 0.7; P<.001). In patients treated with ST+CN, median OS was 38 months in contemporary versus 26 months in historical patients (Δ=12 months; P<.001; multivariable HR, 0.7; P=.003). CONCLUSIONS: Contemporary community-based patients with ccmRCC receiving active treatment clearly exhibited better survival than their historical counterparts, when examined as one group, as well as when examined as separate subgroups according to treatment type. Treatment advancements of phase III trials seem to be applied appropriately outside of centers of excellence.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: In contrast to other malignancies, histologic confirmation prior treatment in patients with a high suspicion of clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCA) is common. To analyze the impact of extracapsular extension (ECE), cT-stage defined by digital rectal examination (DRE), and PSA-density (PSA-D) on detection of csPCA in patients with at least one PI-RADS 5 lesion (hereinafter, "PI-RADS 5 patients"). MATERIALS AND METHODS: PI-RADS 5 patients who underwent MRI/Ultrasound fusion biopsy (Bx) between 2016 and 2020 were identified in our institutional database. Uni- and multivariable logistic-regression models were used to identify predictors of csPCA-detection (GGG ≥ 2). Risk models were adjusted for ECE, PSA-D, and cT-stage. Corresponding Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves and areas under the curve (AUC) were calculated. RESULTS: Among 493 consecutive PI-RADS 5 patients, the median age and PSA was 69 years (IQR 63-74) and 8.9 ng/ml (IQR 6.0-13.7), respectively. CsPCA (GGG ≥ 2) was detected in 405/493 (82%); 36/493 patients (7%) had no cancer. When tabulating for PSA-D of > 0.2 ng/ml/cc and > 0.5 ng/ml/cc, csPCA was found in 228/253 (90%, PI-RADS5 + PSA-D > 0.2 ng/ml/cc) and 54/54 (100%, PI-RADS5 + PSA-D > 0.5 ng/ml/cc). Finally, a model incorporating PSA-D and cT-stage achieved an AUC of 0.79 (CI 0.74-0.83). CONCLUSION: In PI-RADS 5 patients, PSA-D and cT-stage emerged as strong predictors of csPCA at biopsy. Moreover, when adding the threshold of PSA-D > 0,5 ng/ml/cc, all PI-RADS 5 patients were diagnosed with csPCA. Therefore, straight treatment for PCA can be considered, especially if risk-factors for biopsy-related complications such as obligatory dual platelet inhibition are present.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Despite modern imaging modalities, lymph-node staging before radical prostatectomy (RP) remains challenging in patients with prostate cancer (PCa). The visibility of lymph-node metastases (LNMs) is critically influenced by their size. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to describe the distribution of maximal tumor diameters (i.e., size) in LNMs of pN1-PCa at RP and its consequences on visibility in preoperative imaging and oncological outcomes. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: A total of 2705 consecutive patients with pN1-PCa at RP, harboring a cumulative 7510 LNMs, were analyzed. Descriptive and multivariable analyses addressed the risk of micrometastases (MM)-only disease and the visibility of LNMs. Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox analyses were used for biochemical recurrence-free survival (BCRFS) stratified for MM-only disease. RESULTS: The median LNM size was 4.5mm (interquartile range (IQR): 2.0-9.0 mm). Of 7510 LNMs, 1966 (26%) were MM (≤ 2mm). On preoperative imaging, 526 patients (19%) showed suspicious findings (PSMA-PET/CT: 169/344, 49%). In multivariable analysis, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) (OR 0.98), age (OR 1.01), a Gleason score greater than 7 at biopsy (OR 0.73), percentage of positive cores at biopsy (OR 0.36), and neoadjuvant treatment (OR 0.51) emerged as independent predictors for less MM-only disease (p < 0.05). Patients with MM-only disease compared to those harboring larger LNMs had a longer BCRFS (median 60 versus 29 months, p < 0.0001). CONCLUSION: Overall, 26% of LNMs were MM (≤ 2mm). Adverse clinical parameters were inversely associated with MM at RP. Consequently, PSMA-PET/CT did not detect a substantial proportion of LNMs. LNM size and count are relevant for prognosis.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: To compare oncological, functional, and surgical outcomes of a large cohort of patients who underwent open retropubic radical prostatectomy (ORP) or robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Data from 18,805 RPs performed with either the open or the robot-assisted approaches at a single tertiary referral center between 2008 and 2022 were analyzed. The impact of surgical approach on biochemical recurrence-free survival, salvage radiotherapy-free survival, and metastasis-free survival was analyzed by log-rank test and Kaplan-Meier analysis in a propensity score (PS)-based matched cohort. Intraoperative and postoperative surgical outcomes were assessed. One-week, 3-month, and 12-month continence rates and 12-month erectile function (EF) were analyzed. RESULTS: No statistically significant differences in oncological outcomes were found between ORP and RARP. A slight statistically significant difference in favor of RARP was noted in urinary continence at 3 months (RARP vs. ORP: 81% vs. 77%, p = 0.007) and 12 months (91% vs. 89.3%, p = 0.008), respectively. The rate of EF was statistically significantly higher (60%) after RARP than after ORP (45%, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Both RARP and ORP yielded similar oncological outcomes. RARP offered a slight advantage in terms of continence recovery, but its clinical significance may be less meaningful. RARP resulted in significantly improved postoperative EF, suggesting a potential influence of both surgical experience and minimally invasive approach.

RESUMEN

The Ki-67 labeling index (Ki-67 LI) is a strong prognostic marker in prostate cancer, although its analysis requires cumbersome manual quantification of Ki-67 immunostaining in 200-500 tumor cells. To enable automated Ki-67 LI assessment in routine clinical practice, a framework for automated Ki-67 LI quantification, which comprises three different artificial intelligence analysis steps and an algorithm for cell-distance analysis of multiplex fluorescence immunohistochemistry (mfIHC) staining, was developed and validated in a cohort of 12,475 prostate cancers. The prognostic impact of the Ki-67 LI was tested on a tissue microarray (TMA) containing one 0.6 mm sample per patient. A 'heterogeneity TMA' containing three to six samples from different tumor areas in each patient was used to model Ki-67 analysis of multiple different biopsies, and 30 prostate biopsies were analyzed to compare a 'classical' bright field-based Ki-67 analysis with the mfIHC-based framework. The Ki-67 LI provided strong and independent prognostic information in 11,845 analyzed prostate cancers (p < 0.001 each), and excellent agreement was found between the framework for automated Ki-67 LI assessment and the manual quantification in prostate biopsies from routine clinical practice (intraclass correlation coefficient: 0.94 [95% confidence interval: 0.87-0.97]). The analysis of the heterogeneity TMA revealed that the Ki-67 LI of the sample with the highest Gleason score (area under the curve [AUC]: 0.68) was as prognostic as the mean Ki-67 LI of all six foci (AUC: 0.71 [p = 0.24]). The combined analysis of the Ki-67 LI and Gleason score obtained on identical tissue spots showed that the Ki-67 LI added significant additional prognostic information in case of classical International Society of Urological Pathology grades (AUC: 0.82 [p = 0.002]) and quantitative Gleason score (AUC: 0.83 [p = 0.018]). The Ki-67 LI is a powerful prognostic parameter in prostate cancer that is now applicable in routine clinical practice. In the case of multiple cancer-positive biopsies, the sole automated analysis of the worst biopsy was sufficient. © 2023 The Authors.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: In 2021, the International Germ Cell Cancer Collaborative Group (IGCCCG) Update Consortium reported improved overall survival (OS) rates in a modern cohort of metastatic non-seminoma testis cancer patients within each of the IGCCCG prognosis groups (96% in good vs. 89% in intermediate vs. 67% in poor), compared to the previous IGCCCG publication (92% in good vs. 80% in intermediate vs. 48% in poor). We hypothesized that a similar survival improvement may apply to a contemporary North-American population-based cohort of non-seminoma testis cancer patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database (2010-2018) was used. Kaplan-Meier plots and multivariable Cox regression models tested the effect of IGCCCG prognosis groups on overall mortality (OM). RESULTS: Of 1672 surgically treated metastatic non-seminoma patients, 778 (47%) exhibited good vs. 251 (15%) intermediate vs. 643 (38%) poor prognosis. In the overall cohort, five-year OS rate was 94% for good prognosis vs. 87% for intermediate prognosis vs. 65% for poor prognosis. In multivariable Cox regression models predicting OM, intermediate (Hazard ratio [HR] 2.4, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.4-3.9, P < 0.001) and poor prognosis group (HR 6.6, 95% CI 1.0-1.0, P < 0.001) were independent predictors of higher OM, relative to good prognosis group. CONCLUSIONS: The survival improvement reported by the IGCCCG Update Consortium is also operational in non-seminoma testis cancer patients within the most contemporary SEER database. This observation indicates that the survival improvement is not only applicable to centres of excellence, but also applies to other institutions at large.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: To investigate characteristics and outcomes of oligometastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) patients undergoing metastases-directed therapy (MDT) with external beam radiation therapy (EBRT). MATERIALS AND METHODS: We relied on an institutional tertiary-care database to identify mHSPC patients who underwent EBRT as MDT between 12/2019 and 12/2022. Main outcomes consisted of progression to metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) and overall mortality (OM). Oligometastatic was defined as ≤3 metastases and bone and/or lymph node deposits were treated with conventional doses up to 54 Gy or with hypofractionated stereotactic regimes of median 24 Gy (20-27 Gy). RESULTS: Overall, 37 patients treated with EBRT as MDT were identified. The median follow-up was 13 months. Median age at MDT was 71 years and 84% exhibited ECOG performance status 0. The median baseline PSA at diagnosis was 10 ng/mL. Overall, primary local therapy consisted of radical prostatectomy (65%), followed by external beam radiation therapy to the prostate (11%), focal therapy (8%), and palliative transurethral resection of the prostate (5%). Overall, 32% exhibited de novo oligometastatic mHSPC. Bone metastases were present in 78% versus 19% lymph node metastases versus 3% both. The distribution of targeted oligo-metastases was 62% versus 38% for respectively one metastasis versus more than one metastasis. Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) was combined with MDT in 84%. Moreover, 19% received combination therapy with apalutamide/enzalutamide and 12% with abiraterone or docetaxel. The median time to mCRPC was 50 months. In incidence analyses, 13% developed mCRPC after 24 months. OM after 24 months was 15% in mHSPC patients receiving MDT. Significant OM differences were observed after stratification into targeted metastatic burden (<0.05). No high-grade adverse events were recorded during MDT. CONCLUSION: Our real-world data suggest that MDT represents a safe treatment option for well-selected oligometastatic mHSPC patients.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: To compare the oncological and surgical outcomes of patients with recurrent prostate cancer (PCa) who underwent either open or newly established robot-assisted salvage prostate-specific membrane antigen-radioguided surgery (PSMA-RGS). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Patients who consecutively underwent PSMA-RGS for PCa recurrence between January 2021 and December 2022 were identified. The rate of complete biochemical response, biochemical recurrence-free survival [BFS], and the rate of salvage therapy were evaluated. Univariable and multivariable regression models tested the association between the surgical approach and surgical outcomes. RESULTS: Overall, 85 patients were selected, with 61 patients (72%) undergoing open PSMA-RGS and 24 patients (28%) receiving a robot-assisted approach. The oncological outcomes of the two groups were comparable (12-month BFS: 41% (Confidence interval (CI): 29-58%) vs. 39% (CI: 19-79%), p = 0.9, respectively). According to multivariable regression models, the robotic approach did not significantly influence estimated blood loss (EBL) (ß = -40, 95% CI: -103, 22; p = 0.2) and significantly increased operative time (OT) (ß = 28, 95% CI: 10, 46; p = 0.002). No Clavien-Dindo III-V complications were reported in the robotic group. CONCLUSION: Both, the open as well as the robot-assisted approach for PSMA-RGS had comparable oncological outcomes. No safety concerns arose for the robotic-assisted approach offering a potentially improved quality of life for patients.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: Prostate cancer (PCa) detection is usually achieved by PSA measurement and, if indicated, further diagnostics. The recent EAU guidelines recommend a first PSA test at the age of 50 years, if no family history of PCa or BRCA2 mutation exists. However, some men might harbor significant PCa at younger age; thus we evaluated the histopathological results of men treated with radical prostatectomy (RP) in their 40 s at our institution. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We relied on the data of all patients who underwent RP in our institution between 1992 and 2020 and were younger than 50 years at the time of surgery. The histopathological results are descriptively presented. Moreover, we tested the effect of a positive family history on the descriptive results. RESULTS: Overall, 1225 patients younger than 50 years underwent RP at our institution. Median age was 47 years. Most patients showed favorable histopathological characteristics. However, 20% of patients had extraprostatic disease (≥ pT3a), 15% had ISUP Gleason grade group ≥ 3, and 7% had positive lymph nodes (pN1). Patients with a known positive family history did not have a higher rate of adverse disease as their counterparts with a negative family history. DISCUSSION: Our data show that the majority of patients who were diagnosed with PCa at a very young age had favorable histopathological RP characteristics. However, a non-negligible proportion of patients already showed locally advanced disease and would have probably benefited from earlier PCa detection. This should be kept in mind when PCa screening recommendations are proposed.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: Excessive vesicourethral anastomotic leak (EVAL) is a rare but severe complication after radical prostatectomy (RP). Epithelialized vesicourethral cavity formation (EVCF) usually develops during prolonged catheterization. To our knowledge, there is no description of postoperative outcomes, complications, or functional assessment of these patients who received conservative therapy after EVAL. METHODS: We identified 70 patients (0.56%) with radiographic evidence of EVCF out of 12,434 patients who received RP in 2016-2020 at our tertiary care center. Postoperative radiographic cystograms (CG) were retrospectively re-examined by two urologists individually. We assessed urinary continence (UC), the need for intervention due to anastomotic stricture formation, urinary tract infection (UTI), and symphysitis during the first year of follow-up post-RP. RESULTS: The median age was 66 years [interquartile range (IQR) 61-70 years], the median body mass index was 27.8 kg/m2 (IQR 25.5-30.3 kg/m2), and the median prostate specific antigen before RP was 7.1 ng/ml (IQR 4.7-11.8 ng/ml). The median catheter insertion time was 44.5 days (IQR 35.2-54 days). One-year continence follow-up was available for 27 patients (38.6%), of which 22 (81.5%) reported the use of ≤ one pad, two patients reported the use of two (7.4%) pads/24 h, and three (11.1%) patients reported use > two pads/24 h. Overall, four (5.7%) patients needed surgical reintervention for anastomotic stricture, eight (11.5%) patients presented with symphysitis, and 55 (77.1%) presented with UTI. CONCLUSION: UC in 81.5% 1-year post-RP suggests that conservative treatment in EVAL is a treatment option with an acceptable outcome on UC and should be considered before reintervention for anastomotic insufficiency.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Metastasis-directed therapy is a feasible option for low PSA, recurrent locoregional metastatic prostate cancer. After initial salvage surgery, patients with good response might consider a repeat salvage surgery in case of recurrent, isolated, and PSMA-positive metastases. This analysis aimed to evaluate the oncological outcome and safety of repeat PSMA-targeted radioguided surgery (RGS) after either prior RGS or "standard" salvage lymph node dissection (SLND). MATERIALS AND METHODS: We identified 37 patients undergoing repeat RGS after prior SLND (n = 21) (SLND-RGS) or prior RGS (n = 16) (RGS-RGS) between 2014 and 2021 after initial radical prostatectomy with or without pelvic radiation therapy at two German tertiary referral centers. Kaplan-Meier analyses and uni-/multivariable Cox regression models were used to investigate factors associated with biochemical recurrence-free survival (BRFS) and treatment-free survival (TFS) after repeat salvage surgery. RESULTS AND LIMITATIONS: Complete Biochemical Response (cBR, PSA < 0.2 ng/ml) was observed in 20/32 patients (5 NA). Median overall BRFS [95% confidence interval (CI)] after repeat salvage surgery was 10.8 months (mo) (5.3-22). On multivariable regression, only age (HR 1.09, 95% CI 1.01-1.17) and preoperative PSA (HR 1.23, 95% CI 1.01-1.50) were associated with shorter BRFS, although PSA (HR 1.16, 95% CI 0.99-1.36) did not achieve significant predictor status in univariable analysis before (p value = 0.07). Overall, one year after second salvage surgery, 89% of the patients (number at risk: 19) did not receive additional treatment and median TFS was not reached. Clavien-Dindo grade > 3a complications were observed in 8% (3/37 patients). Limitations are the retrospective evaluation, heterogeneous SLND procedures, lack of long-term follow-up data, and small cohort size. CONCLUSION: In this study, repeat RGS was safe and provided clinically meaningful biochemical recurrence- and treatment-free intervals for selected cases. Patients having low preoperative PSA seemed to benefit most of repeat RGS, irrespective of prior SLND or RGS or the time from initial RP/first salvage surgery.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: The survival benefit of inguinal lymph node dissection (ILND) vs no ILND in patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the penis (SCCP) and the absence of lymph node invasion is unclear. We addressed this uncertainty within the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER 2000-2018) database. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We identified lymph node negative SCCP patients who either underwent ILND (pN0) or clinical examination only (cN0). We tested for the effect of ILND vs no ILND on cancer-specific mortality (CSM) in Kaplan-Meier plots, univariable and multivariable Cox regression analyses, in a pT stage-specific fashion, before and after 1:3 propensity score matching (PSM). Sensitivity analyses were conducted according to historical and contemporary treatment periods as well as geographic regions. RESULTS: Of 2520 SCCP patients, 369 (15%) underwent ILND (pN0) vs 2151 (85%) did not (cN0). The pN0 vs cN0 distribution according to pT stages was as follows: 80 (7%) vs 1092 (93%) in pT1b, and 289 (21%) vs 1059 (79%) in pT2-3. At 36 months, CSM-free survival in pT2-3 stage was 89% in ILND vs 74% in no ILND patients (multivariable hazard ratio: 0.42, CI 0.30-0.60, p < 0.001). This result was confirmed in sensitivity analyses, and after 1:3 PSM. The same analyses could not be completed in pT1b stage due to insufficient number of observations and events. CONCLUSIONS: In pT2-3 stage SCCP, a significantly lower CSM was recorded in lymph node negative patients treated with ILND than in their clinical lymph node negative counterparts who did not undergo ILND.

RESUMEN

Marine fungi serve as a valuable source for new bioactive molecules bearing various biological activities. In this study, we report on the isolation of a new indole diketopiperazine alkaloid deoxy-14,15-dehydroisoaustamide (1) from the marine-derived fungus Penicillium dimorphosporum KMM 4689 associated with a soft coral. The structure of this metabolite, including its absolute configuration, was determined by HR-MS, 1D and 2D NMR as well as CD data. Compound 1 is a very first deoxyisoaustamide alkaloid possessing two double bonds in the proline ring. The isolated compound was noncytotoxic to a panel of human normal and cancer cell lines up to 100 µM. At the same time, compound 1 resensitized prostate cancer 22Rv1 cells to androgen receptor (AR) blocker enzalutamide. The mechanism of this phenomenon was identified as specific drug-induced degradation of androgen receptor transcription variant V7 (AR-V7), which also resulted in general suppression of AR signaling. Our data suggest that the isolated alkaloid is a promising candidate for combinational therapy of castration resistant prostate cancer, including drug-resistant subtypes.

RESUMEN

Five new ß-resorcylic acid derivatives, 14-hydroxyasperentin B (1), ß-resoantarctines A-C (3, 5, 6) and 8-dehydro-ß-resoantarctine A (4), together with known 14-hydroxyasperentin (5'-hydroxyasperentin) (2), were isolated from the ethyl acetate extract of the fungus Penicillium antarcticum KMM 4685 associated with the brown alga Sargassum miyabei. The structures of the compounds were elucidated by spectroscopic analyses and modified Mosher's method, and the biogenetic pathways for compounds 3-6 were proposed. For the very first time, the relative configuration of the C-14 center of a known compound 2 was assigned via analyses of magnitudes of the vicinal coupling constants. The new metabolites 3-6 were biogenically related to resorcylic acid lactones (RALs); however, they did not possess lactonized macrolide elements in their structures. Compounds 3, 4 and 5 exhibited moderate cytotoxic activity in LNCaP, DU145 and 22Rv1 human prostate cancer cells. Moreover, these metabolites could inhibit the activity of p-glycoprotein at their noncytotoxic concentrations and consequently synergize with docetaxel in p-glycoprotein-overexpressing drug-resistant cancer cells.

RESUMEN

Aim and Objectives: We aimed to test the impact of age on long-term urinary continence (≥12 months) in patients undergoing robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy. Methods and Materials: We relied on an institutional tertiary-care database to identify the patients who underwent robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy between January 2014 and January 2021. Patients were divided into three age groups: age group one (≤60 years), age group two (61-69 years) and age group three (≥70 years). Multivariable logistic regression models tested the differences between the age groups in the analyses addressing long-term urinary continence after robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy. Results: Of the 201 prostate cancer patients treated with robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy, 49 (24%) were assigned to age group one (≤60 years), 93 (46%) to age group two (61-69 years) and 59 (29%) to age group three (≥70 years). The three age groups differed according to long-term urinary continence: 90% vs. 84% vs. 69% for, respectively, age group one vs. two vs. three (p = 0.018). In the multivariable logistic regression, age group one (Odds Ratio (OR) 4.73, 95% CI 1.44-18.65, p = 0.015) and 2 (OR 2.94; 95% CI 1.23-7.29; p = 0.017) were independent predictors for urinary continence, compared to age group three. Conclusion: Younger age, especially ≤60 years, was associated with better urinary continence after robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy. This observation is important at the point of patient education and should be discussed in informed consent.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: Positive surgical margins (PSM) represent a poor prognostic factor at radical prostatectomy (RP). To investigate the impact of PSM, its length, the focality and the Gleason grade at the PSM, on the oncologic outcomes in nonorgan-confined RP patients. METHODS: Within a high-volume center database, we identified patients who harbored non-organ-confined (pT3) prostate cancer (PCa) at RP between 2010 and 2016. Only patients without lymph node invasion were included. Kaplan-Meier analyses and multivariable Cox regression models were used to test the effect of PSM on biochemical recurrence (BCR), metastasis, and cancer-specific death after RP in patients without adjuvant radiotherapy. RESULTS: Overall, 3705 patients were identified. Of those, 27.2% (n = 1007) harbored PSM. At 96 months after RP, BCR-free, metastasis-free and cancer-specific survival was 41.6 versus 57.5%, 82.7 versus 88.6%, and 94.7 versus 98.5% for patients with versus without PSM (all p < 0.001). BCR-free, metastasis-free and cancer-specific survival rates at 96 months were 56.7 versus 26.5% (p < 0.001), 94.4 versus 67.4% (p < 0.001), and 100.0 versus 87.1% (p < 0.01) for Gleason pattern 3 versus ≥ 4 at the margin and 45.0 versus 27.8% (p < 0.01), 83.3 versus 82.3% (p = 0.2), and 95.2 versus 92.7% (p = 0.3) for <4 mm versus ≥4 mm length of margin. In multivariable Cox models PSM was an independent predictor for BCR (hazard ratio [HR]:1.53, p < 0.001) and cancer-specific death (HR:2.75, p = 0.02). In subgroups of patients with PSM only, Gleason ≥ 4 at the margin (HR:1.60, p < 0.01) and length of PSM (HR:1.02, p < 0.05) was an independent predictor of BCR. CONCLUSION: PSM represents an independent predictor for worse oncologic outcome in nonorgan-confined PCa at RP. Gleason ≥ 4 at the margin was associated with the development of BCR, metastasis, and with cancer-specific death after RP. Next to margin status, Gleason at the margin and its length carry important information that should be reported for the specimen.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: To investigate the concordance of biopsy and pathologic International Society of Urological Pathology (ISUP) grading in salvage radical prostatectomy (SRP) patients for recurrent prostate cancer. METHODS: Within a high-volume center database, we identified patients who underwent SRP for recurrent prostate cancer (PCa) between 2004 and 2020. Upgrading, downgrading, concordance, and any discordance between posttreatment biopsy ISUP and ISUP at SRP were tested. Logistic regression models were used to predict ISUP upgrading and ISUP discordance. Models were adjusted for prostatic specific antigen before SRP, age at surgery, initial prostatic specific antigen (PSA), type of primary treatment, time from primary PCa diagnosis to SRP, number of positive cores at biopsy, and original Gleason score. RESULTS: Overall, 184 patients with available biopsy and pathologic ISUP grading were identified. Of those, 17.4% (n = 32), 40.8% (n = 75), 19.6% (n = 36), and 22.2% (n = 41) harbored biopsy ISUP 1, ISUP 2, ISUP 3, and ISUP 4-5 grading, respectively. Pathologic ISUP 1, ISUP 2, ISUP 3, and ISUP 4-5 grading was recorded in 6.0% (n = 11), 40.8% (n = 75), 32.1% (n = 59), and 21.2% (n = 39), respectively. Median PSA before SRP was 5.5 ng/ml (interquartile range [IQR]: 3.1-8.1 ng/ml), median age at SRP was 65.1 years (IQR:60.7-69.4 years) and median time from original PCa diagnosis to SRP was 47 months (IQR: 27.3-85.2 months). Concordance of biopsy and pathologic ISUP was identified in 45.1% (n = 83). Conversely, any ISUP discordance, upgrading and downgrading of at least one ISUP group was identified in 54.9% (n = 101), 35.3% (n = 65), and 19.6% (n = 36). In logistic models, none of the preoperative characteristics was associated with upgrading or ISUP discordance (all p > 0.1). CONCLUSION: Discordance between biopsy and pathologic ISUP grading is common at SRP. However, in 45% of SRP cases biopsy ISUP is capable to predict pathologic ISUP. Further studies are necessary to identify characteristics for ISUP upgrading at SRP.
