Article Abstract
Multifocal prostate cancer is a prevalent phenomenon, with most cases remaining uncharacterized from a genomic perspective. A patient presented with bilateral prostate cancer. On systematic biopsy, two indistinguishable clinicopathologic lesions were detected. Whole-genome sequencing displayed somatically unrelated tumours with distinct driver CNA regions, suggesting independent origins of the two tumors. We demonstrated that similar clinicopathologic multifocal tumours, which might be interpreted as clonal disease, can in fact represent independent cancers. Genetic prognostics can prevent mischaracterization of multifocal disease to enable optimal patient management.

Optimizing Workflow for Cone Beam Computed Tomography-Based Online Adaptive Radiation Therapy Toward Reduced Physician Involvement.
Adv Radiat Oncol
October 2025
Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin, corporate member of Freie Universität Berlin and Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Department of Radiation Oncology and Radiotherapy, Augustenburger Platz 1, 13353 Berlin, Germany.
Purpose: To evaluate the impact of an optimized online adaptive radiation therapy workflow on physician involvement.
Methods And Materials: Data from a prospective phase 2 trial involving 34 prostate cancer patients treated with cone beam computed tomography (CBCT)-based online adaptive radiation therapy (62 Gy in 20 fractions) were analyzed. Manual interventions were required for 2 steps in the workflow: radiation therapy technologist review and adjustment of automatically segmented organs, guiding target segmentation, so-called "influencer," while physicians reviewed and refined the targets.
SLC16A3 (MCT4) expression in tumor immunity and Metabolism: Insights from pan-cancer analysis.
Biochem Biophys Rep
June 2025
The Affiliated Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, Guangzhou Medical University, Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, China.
Background: SLC16A3, a highly expressed H + -coupled symporter, facilitates lactate transport via monocarboxylate transporters (MCTs), contributing to acidosis. Although SLC16A3 has been implicated in tumor development, its role in tumor immunity remains unclear.
Methods: A pan-cancer analysis was conducted using datasets from The Cancer Genome Atlas, Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia, and Genotype-Tissue Expression projects.
Development of a novel risk model to predict CRPC progression following IMRT: Implications for tailoring treatment intensity.
BJUI Compass
September 2025
Department of Radiation Oncology and Image-Applied Therapy, Graduate School of Medicine Kyoto University Kyoto Kyoto Japan.
Objectives: To develop a novel risk score (RS) model to predict the probability of progression to castration-resistant prostate cancer (PCa) (CRPC) after intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) for patients with high- and very high-risk PCa according to the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) risk classification, since accurate prediction of the clinical outcome of definitive radiation therapy for patients with high- and very high-risk PCa remains challenging due to its heterogeneity.
Materials And Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of 600 patients with high- and very high-risk PCa treated with IMRT at our institution. They were randomly divided into discovery (n = 300) and validation (n = 300) cohorts.
Optimizing dose rate to minimize delivery time in proton pencil beam dose-driven continuous scanning.
Med Phys
September 2025
Department of Radiation Oncology, Mayo Clinic in Florida, Jacksonville, Florida, USA.
Background: Dose-driven continuous scanning (DDCS) enhances the efficiency and precision of proton pencil beam delivery by reducing beam pauses inherent in discrete spot scanning (DSS). However, current DDCS optimization studies using traveling salesman problem (TSP) formulations often rely on fixed beam intensity and computationally expensive interpolation for move spot generation, limiting efficiency and methodological robustness.
Purpose: This study introduces a Break Spot-Guided (BSG) method, combined with two acceleration strategies-dose rate skipping and bounding-to optimize beam intensity while minimizing beam delivery time (BDT).
Prostate cancer characteristics in fathers and risk of early onset high-risk prostate cancer in sons.
Int J Cancer

Department of Surgical Sciences, Uppsala University, Uppsala, Sweden.
A family history of prostate cancer in first-degree relatives is an established risk factor for prostate cancer, but the specific associations between prostate cancer characteristics in fathers and the risk of high-risk prostate cancer in their sons remain unclear. We identified men in Prostate Cancer data Base Sweden whose fathers had been diagnosed with prostate cancer in 1998-2005. We compared the observed number of prostate cancer diagnoses in these men with the expected number in the Swedish male population, estimating standardized incidence ratios (SIR).
