Bloodstream infections (BSIs) caused by are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. Geographical variations exist in the epidemiology of candidemia, with a paucity of data in the many low- and middle-income countries. We performed a retrospective study of candidemia from 2017 to 2022 at a 289-bed teaching hospital in the Dominican Republic (DR).

Early onset prostate cancer (EOPC; defined herein as prostate cancer [PCa] affecting men ≤ 55 years-old) tends to show low histologic grade, likely representing early detection of indolent tumors that would otherwise be diagnosed later in life. A small subset of EOPC exhibits Gleason scores consistent with high-risk disease (Grade Groups 4 to 5; high-grade EOPC [HG-EOPC] hereafter). In this study, we assess the clinicopathologic features of HG-EOPC, with genomic analysis of ERG-negative cases.
