Article Abstract
In this work, we report a complete response case of a 69-year-old male with metastatic prostate cancer (initial prostate-specific antigen (PSA)=26.3 ng/mL, Gleason score 3+4=7, cT3a, N0, M1b) treated with triplet therapy comprising leuprorelin + docetaxel (75 mg/m/3 weeks) + darolutamide (1,200 mg/d). His PSA was checked monthly, and radiological scans (computed tomography and bone scans) were administered every three months. His PSA declined quickly, reaching <0.01 ng/mL five months after starting triplet therapy, but his bone scan index declined gradually, reaching 0.0% 13 months after starting triplet therapy. To evaluate the true efficacy of triplet therapy, regular radiological testing should be performed, similar to regular PSA testing.

Self-efficacy and anatomical knowledge have been shown to be important in the development of medical students. Validated instruments designed to measure the construct of anatomical self-efficacy during the clinical years of medical school are limited. In this study, the Anatomical Self-Efficacy Instrument for Clinical Clerkships (ASEI-CC) was developed, and evidence for the reliability of the scores and the validity of the interpretations of the scores was gathered.

TLR8 and TLR9 are innate immune receptors belonging to the TLR family that are essential for viral recognition and early immune activation. Their dysfunction is linked to increased susceptibility to infections. TLR8 detects viral single- and double-stranded RNA, while TLR9 recognizes viral DNA molecules with CpG motifs.

The diagnostic accuracy of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) for detecting molecular residual disease (MRD) after multimodal treatment remains unclear. In a prospective cohort of 132 patients with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) undergoing neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) followed by clinical response evaluation and surgery, tumor-informed personalized-panel and fixed-panel ctDNA assays are applied to serial blood samples. Personalized ctDNA assay demonstrates a superior baseline detection rate (99.

Purpose: Tebentafusp has emerged as the first systemic therapy to significantly prolong survival in treatment-naïve HLA-A*02:01 + patients with unresectable or metastatic uveal melanoma (mUM). Notably, a survival benefit has been observed even in the absence of radiographic response. This study aims to investigate the feasibility and prognostic value of artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted quantification and metabolic response assessment of [F]FDG long axial field-of-view (LAFOV) PET/CT in mUM patients undergoing tebentafusp therapy.
