BACKGROUNDS: SWI/SNF complexes represent a family of multi-subunit chromatin remodelers that are affected by alterations in >20% of human tumors. While mutations of SWI/SNF genes are relatively uncommon in prostate cancer (PCa), the literature suggests that deregulation of various subunits plays a role in prostate tumorigenesis. To assess SWI/SNF functions in a clinical context, we studied the mutually exclusive, paralogue accessory subunits SMARCD1, SMARCD2, and SMARCD3 that are included in every known complex and are sought to confer specificity. METHODS: Performing immunohistochemistry (IHC), the protein levels of the SMARCD family members were measured using a tissue microarray (TMA) comprising malignant samples and matching healthy tissue of non-metastatic PCa patients (n = 168). Moreover, IHC was performed in castration-resistant tumors (n = 9) and lymph node metastases (n = 22). To assess their potential role as molecular biomarkers, SMARCD1 and SMARCD3 protein levels were correlated with clinical parameters such as T stage, Gleason score, biochemical recurrence, and progression-free survival. RESULTS: SMARCD1 protein levels in non-metastatic primary tumors, lymph node metastases, and castration-resistant samples were significantly higher than in benign tissues. Likewise, SMARCD3 protein expression was elevated in tumor tissue and especially lymph node metastases compared to benign samples. While SMARCD1 levels in primary tumors did not exhibit significant associations with any of the tested clinical parameters, SMARCD3 exhibited an inverse correlation with pre-operative PSA levels. Moreover, low SMARCD3 expression was associated with progression to metastasis. CONCLUSIONS: In congruence with previous literature, our results implicate that both SMARCD1 and SMARCD3 may exhibit relevant functions in the context of prostate tumorigenesis. Moreover, our approach suggests a potential role of SMARCD3 as a novel prognostic marker in clinically non-metastatic PCa.

Cíl: Prezentovat ojedinělý případ náhodné detekce nádorové kvadruplicity (prostata, tračník, trachea) pomocí hybridního 18 F-FDG PET/CT zobrazení u 74letého muže s pozitivní anamnézou bronchioloalveolárního karcinomu. Metodika: PET/CT vyšetření bylo provedeno za 60 minut po intravenózní aplikaci 18 F-FDG o aktivitě 4,5 MBq/kg. V identickém rozsahu bylo provedeno též monofázické CT zobrazení, s předcházejícím podáním per os kontrastní látky a intravenózní aplikací bolusu jodové kontrastní látky. Výsledky: Zobrazilo se ložisko akumulace 18 F-FDG v distální části trachey, v lymfatické uzlině na krku vlevo, dále excentrické zesílení stěny esovitého tračníku s akumulací 18 F-FDG a ložisko zvýšené akumulace 18 F-FDG v periferii pravého laloku prostaty. Nález byl hodnocen jako viabilní metastáza na krku a v distální části trachey a velmi suspektní podezření na synchronní tumor tračníku a prostaty. Bronchoskopie s biopsií prokázala dlaždicobuněčný karcinom v průdušnici. Pacient také absolvoval koloskopii s biopsií, která potvrdila přítomnost adenokarcinomu v tračníku. Při následné operaci se zjistilo, že tumor tračníku je inoperabilní, prorůstá do močového měchýře a byla založena kolostomie. Při vyšetření sérové hladiny PSA byla zjištěna elevace (6,5 μg/l; norma 0–4 μg/l), biopsie potvrdila přítomnost karcinomu prostaty. Vzhledem ke klinickému stavu pacienta a jeho přání byla poté ukončena kurativní terapie a dále pokračovala pouze paliativní symptomatická léčba. Závěr: 18 F-FDG PET/CT vyšetření správně náhodně detekovalo nádorovou kvadruplicitu (tračník, prostata, průdušnice), což zcela změnilo prognózu pacienta a v podstatě i strategii léčby. PET/CT vyšetření významně zkrátilo dobu diagnostického procesu.
Aim: A rare case of incidental detection of quadruple primary cancer (colon, prostate and trachea) by means of 18 F-FDG PET/CT in a 74-year-old man with positive history of bronchioalveolar carcinoma. Method: PET/CT scan was performed in 60 minutes after intravenous administration of 18 F-FDG with activity of 4.5 MBq/kg. Monophasic contrast-enhanced CT imaging was performed in identical extent. Acquisition of CT imaging data was targeted to the venous circulation. Results: A focus of increased 18 F-FDG uptake in the left neck lymph node and the distal part of the trachea, as well as eccentric thickening of the wall of the sigmoid colon with 18 F- FDG uptake and a focus of increased 18 F-FDG uptake in the periphery of the right lobe of the prostate were detected. The finding was evaluated as a viable metastasis to the neck and distal trachea and highly suspicious for a synchronous tumour of the sigmoid colon and prostate. Bronchoscopy with biopsy showed squamous cell carcinoma in the trachea. The patient also underwent colonoscopy and biopsy, which confirmed the presence of adenocarcinoma in the colon. Abdomen surgery revealed locally advanced, inoperable tumour and a colostomy was established. Serum PSA levels were found to be increased (6.5 μg/l; normal 0–4 μg/l) and biopsy confirmed the presence of prostate cancer. Due to the patient‘s clinical condition and wishes, curative therapy was then discontinued, and only palliative symptomatic treatment was continued. Conclusion: The 18 F-FDG PET/CT scan correctly detected tumour quadruple (colon, prostate, trachea) in a patient with a positive history of bronchioalveolar carcinoma, which completely changed the prognosis of the patient and essentially the treatment strategy. Furthermore, PET/CT scanning significantly reduced the diagnostic process time.
BACKGROUND: Positron Emission Tomography-Computed Tomography using Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen (PSMA PET/CT) is notable for its superior sensitivity and specificity in detecting recurrent PCa and is under investigation for its potential in pre-treatment staging. Despite its established efficacy in nodal and metastasis staging in trial setting, its role in primary staging awaits fuller validation due to limited evidence on oncologic outcomes. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to appraise the diagnostic accuracy of PSMA PET/CT compared to CI for comprehensive PCa staging. METHODS: Medline, Scopus and Web of science databases were searched till March 2023. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) guidelines were followed to identify eligible studies. Primary outcomes were specificity, sensitivity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) of PSMA PET/CT for local, nodal and metastatic staging in PCa patients. Due to the unavailability of data, a meta-analysis was feasible only for detection of seminal vesicles invasion (SVI) and LNI. RESULTS: A total of 49 studies, comprising 3876 patients, were included. Of these, 6 investigated accuracy of PSMA PET/CT in detection of SVI. Pooled sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV were 42.29% (95%CI: 29.85-55.78%), 87.59% (95%CI: 77.10%-93.67%), 93.39% (95%CI: 74.95%-98.52%) and 86.60% (95%CI: 58.83%-96.69%), respectively. Heterogeneity analysis revealed significant variability for PPV and NPV. 18 studies investigated PSMA PET/CT accuracy in detection of LNI. Aggregate sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV were 43.63% (95%CI: 34.19-53.56%), 85.55% (95%CI: 75.95%-91.74%), 67.47% (95%CI: 52.42%-79.6%) and 83.61% (95%CI: 79.19%-87.24%). No significant heterogeneity was found between studies. CONCLUSIONS: The present systematic review and meta-analysis highlights PSMA PET-CT effectiveness in detecting SVI and its good accuracy in LNI compared to CI. Nonetheless, it also reveals a lack of high-quality research on its performance in clinical T staging, extraprostatic extension and distant metastasis evaluation, emphasizing the need for further rigorous studies.

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are one of the most common bacterial diseases both in communities and in hospitalized patients, and at the same, time they are one of the most common indications for the use of antibiotics. UTI guidelines are generally available nationally or internationally, but they do not address all aspects of UTI treatment for different patient cohorts, age, gender, or comorbidities. The aim of the study was to point out the importance of stratified cumulative antibiograms at the level of individual health care facilities and the significant differences between epidemiological data, not only at the national level, but also at the local level. Our study analyses data from 383 patients with UTIs from a hospital department, General University Hospital (GUH), and 272 patients from an outpatient medical facility, Urocentrum (UC). This analysis focuses on the most common UTI causative agent, Escherichia coli, its representation as the causative agent of UTI in patients with complicated acute cystitis (N30), and its representation in complicated acute cystitis in patients with prostate cancer (C61). In addition to the frequency of occurrence, a sub-analysis of the incidence of resistance of E. coli to commonly used antibiotics by age, gender, diagnosis, and medical facility was performed. Results: The most common causative agent of UTI was E. coli. In patients with N30, it was 70% in GUH and 54% in UC, but in oncological patients with UTI, it was only 39% and 35%, respectively. In patients with UTI in C61, there was a significant difference in susceptibility of E. coli between individual health care facilities. Lower resistance was found in UC opposite to GUH isolates in ampicillin, with 29.8% vs. 65%, p = 0.001; amoxicillin/clavulanic acid, with 8.5% vs. 30%, p = 0.01; with 2.1% vs. 17.5% in pivmecillinam, p = 0.01; with 10.6% vs. 37.5% in co-trimoxazole, p = 0.003; and ciprofloxacin, with 10.6% vs. 30%, p = 0.04. The study shows significant differences in the sensitivity of urinary E. coli isolates in patients in relation to age, gender, medical devices, and the presence of comorbidities.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The aim of the systematic review is to assess AI's capabilities in the genetics of prostate cancer (PCa) and bladder cancer (BCa) to evaluate target groups for such analysis as well as to assess its prospects in daily practice. RECENT FINDINGS: In total, our analysis included 27 articles: 10 articles have reported on PCa and 17 on BCa, respectively. The AI algorithms added clinical value and demonstrated promising results in several fields, including cancer detection, assessment of cancer development risk, risk stratification in terms of survival and relapse, and prediction of response to a specific therapy. Besides clinical applications, genetic analysis aided by the AI shed light on the basic urologic cancer biology. We believe, our results of the AI application to the analysis of PCa, BCa data sets will help to identify new targets for urological cancer therapy. The integration of AI in genomic research for screening and clinical applications will evolve with time to help personalizing chemotherapy, prediction of survival and relapse, aid treatment strategies such as reducing frequency of diagnostic cystoscopies, and clinical decision support, e.g., by predicting immunotherapy response. These factors will ultimately lead to personalized and precision medicine thereby improving patient outcomes.

OBJECTIVES: Radical prostatectomy (RP) is a common intervention in patients with localized prostate cancer (PCa), with nerve-sparing RP recommended to reduce adverse effects on patient quality of life. Accurate pre-operative detection of extraprostatic extension (EPE) remains challenging, often leading to the application of suboptimal treatment. The aim of this study was to enhance pre-operative EPE detection through multimodal data integration using explainable machine learning (ML). METHODS: Patients with newly diagnosed PCa who underwent [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 PET/MRI and subsequent RP were recruited retrospectively from two time ranges for training, cross-validation, and independent validation. The presence of EPE was measured from post-surgical histopathology and predicted using ML and pre-operative parameters, including PET/MRI-derived features, blood-based markers, histology-derived parameters, and demographic parameters. ML models were subsequently compared with conventional PET/MRI-based image readings. RESULTS: The study involved 107 patients, 59 (55%) of whom were affected by EPE according to postoperative findings for the initial training and cross-validation. The ML models demonstrated superior diagnostic performance over conventional PET/MRI image readings, with the explainable boosting machine model achieving an AUC of 0.88 (95% CI 0.87-0.89) during cross-validation and an AUC of 0.88 (95% CI 0.75-0.97) during independent validation. The ML approach integrating invasive features demonstrated better predictive capabilities for EPE compared to visual clinical read-outs (Cross-validation AUC 0.88 versus 0.71, p = 0.02). CONCLUSION: ML based on routinely acquired clinical data can significantly improve the pre-operative detection of EPE in PCa patients, potentially enabling more accurate clinical staging and decision-making, thereby improving patient outcomes. CRITICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT: This study demonstrates that integrating multimodal data with machine learning significantly improves the pre-operative detection of extraprostatic extension in prostate cancer patients, outperforming conventional imaging methods and potentially leading to more accurate clinical staging and better treatment decisions. KEY POINTS: Extraprostatic extension is an important indicator guiding treatment approaches. Current assessment of extraprostatic extension is difficult and lacks accuracy. Machine learning improves detection of extraprostatic extension using PSMA-PET/MRI and histopathology.

CONTEXT: Despite the lack of level 1 evidence, metastasis-directed therapy (MDT) is used widely in the management of metastatic prostate cancer (mPCa) patients. Data are continuously emerging from well-designed prospective studies. OBJECTIVE: To summarise and report the evidence on oncological and safety outcomes of MDT in the management of mPCa patients. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION: We searched the PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases for prospective studies assessing progression-free survival (PFS), local control (LC), androgen deprivation therapy (ADT)-free survival (ADT-FS), overall survival (OS), and/or adverse events (AEs) in mPCa patients treated with MDT. A meta-analysis was performed for 1- and 2-yr PFS, LC, ADT-FS, OS, and rate of AEs. Meta-regression and sensitivity analysis were performed to account for heterogeneity and identify moderators. EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS: We identified 22 prospective studies (n = 1137), including two randomised controlled trials (n = 116). Two studies were excluded from the meta-analysis (n = 120). The estimated 2-yr PFS was 46% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 36-56%) or 42% (95% CI: 33-52%) after excluding studies using biochemical or ADT-related endpoints. The estimated 2-yr LC, ADT-FS, and OS were 97% (95% CI: 94-98%), 55% (95% CI: 44-65%), and 97% (95% CI: 95-98%), respectively. Rates of treatment-related grade 2 and ≥3 AEs were 2.4% (95% CI: 0.2-7%) and 0.3% (95% CI: 0-1%), respectively. CONCLUSIONS: MDT is a promising treatment strategy associated with favourable PFS, excellent LC, and a low toxicity profile that allows oligorecurrent hormone-sensitive patients to avoid or defer ADT-related toxicity. Integration of MDT with other therapies offers a promising research direction, in particular, in conjunction with systemic treatments and as a component of definitive care for oligometastatic PCa. However, in the absence of randomised trials, using MDT for treatment intensification remains an experimental approach, and the impact on OS is uncertain. PATIENT SUMMARY: Direct treatment of metastases is a promising option for selected prostate cancer patients. It can delay hormone therapy and is being investigated as a way of intensifying treatment at the expense of manageable toxicity.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Persistent prostatic specific antigen (PSA) represents a poor prognostic factor for recurrence after radical prostatectomy (RP). However, the impact of persistent PSA on oncologic outcomes in patients undergoing salvage RP is unknown. To investigate the impact of persistent PSA after salvage RP on long-term oncologic outcomes. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Patients who underwent salvage RP for recurrent prostate cancer between 2000 and 2021 were identified from twelve high-volume centers. Only patients with available PSA after salvage RP were included. Kaplan-Meier analyses and multivariable Cox regression models were used to test the effect of persistent PSA on biochemical recurrence (BCR), metastasis and any death after salvage RP. Persistent PSA was defined as a PSA-value ≥ 0.1 ng/ml, at first PSA-measurement after salvage RP. RESULTS: Overall, 580 patients were identified. Of those, 42% (n = 242) harbored persistent PSA. Median follow-up after salvage RP was 38 months, median time to salvage RP was 64 months and median time to first PSA after salvage RP was 2.2 months. At 84 months after salvage RP, BCR-free, metastasis-free, and overall survival was 6.6 vs. 59%, 71 vs. 88% and 77 vs. 94% for patients with persistent vs. undetectable PSA after salvage RP (all p < 0.01). In multivariable Cox models persistent PSA was an independent predictor for BCR (HR: 5.47, p < 0.001) and death (HR: 3.07, p < 0.01). CONCLUSION: Persistent PSA is common after salvage RP and represents an independent predictor for worse oncologic outcomes. Patients undergoing salvage RP should be closely monitored after surgery to identify those with persistent PSA.

BACKGROUND: 68 Ga-prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) is a recommended imaging modality for patients with recurrent prostate cancer (PCa). Its routine implementation before radical prostatectomy (RP) may allow avoiding undertreatment. We aimed to analyze the diagnostic accuracy of 68 Ga-PSMA-PET/CT for pelvic lymph node metastases in a large cohort of patients treated with RP and extended pelvic lymph node dissection (ePLND) for high-risk PCa. METHODS: This is a retrospective analysis of an institutional database of patients who underwent 68 Ga-PSMA-PET/CT before RP and ePLND for high-risk PCa. The diagnostic estimates of 68 Ga-PSMA-PET/CT with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for lymph node involvement were calculated. RESULTS: We included 165 high-risk PCa patients. The median PSA value was 24.5 ng/mL (range: 6.7-185) and all the patients had biopsy Grade Group 4-5. In total, 46 (28%) of patients had clinical lymph node involvement at 68 Ga-PSMA-PET/CT. A mean number of resected lymph nodes per patient was 22 (range: 15-45) and 149 (4.2%) of all resected nodes were positive for lymph node metastasis at final pathology. The diagnostic estimates for the detection of pN+ disease at RP were as follows: sensitivity 63% (95% CI: 51-75), specificity 97% (95% CI: 91-99), positive predictive value 94% (95% CI: 82-99), and negative predictive value 79% (95% CI: 70-86). The total accuracy of PSMA-PET was 83% (95% CI: 76-88). CONCLUSION: Our analyses support high specificity and positive predictive value of pretreatment 68 Ga-PSMA PET/CT for the detection of pelvic lymph node metastasis in patients treated with RP for high-risk PCa. While a positive finding should be considered as robust indicator for clinical decision-making, a negative result cannot reliably rule out the presence of lymph node involvement in high-risk PCa; there is a need for advanced risk stratification in those patients.

BACKGROUND: The role of local therapies including radical prostatectomy (RP) in prostate cancer (PCa) patients with clinical lymphadenopathies on prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography/computerized tomography (PET/CT) has scarcely been explored. Limited data are available to identify men who would benefit from RP; on the contrary, those more likely to benefit already have systemic disease. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to assess the predictors of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) persistence in surgically managed PCa patients with lymphadenopathies on a PSMA PET/CT scan by integrating clinical, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and PSMA PET/CT parameters. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: We identified 519 patients treated with RP and extended lymph node dissection, and who received preoperative PSMA PET between 2017 and 2022 in nine referral centers. Among them, we selected 88 patients with nodal uptake at preoperative PSMA PET (miTxN1M0). OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: The outcome was PSA persistence, defined as a PSA value of ≥0.1 ng/ml at the first measurement after surgery. Multivariable logistic regression models tested the predictors of PSA persistence. Covariates consisted of biopsy International Society of Urological Pathology (ISUP) grade group, clinical stage at MRI, and number of positive spots at a PET/CT scan. A regression tree analysis stratified patients into risk groups based on preoperative characteristics. RESULTS AND LIMITATIONS: Overall, lymph node invasion (LNI) was detected in 63 patients (72%) and 32 (36%) experienced PSA persistence after RP. At multivariable analyses, having more than two lymph nodal positive findings at PSMA PET, seminal vesicle invasion (SVI) at MRI, and ISUP grade group >3 at biopsy were independent predictors of PSA persistence (all p < 0.05). At the regression tree analysis, patients were stratified in four risk groups according to biopsy ISUP grade, number of positive findings at PET/CT, and clinical stage at MRI. The model depicted good discrimination at internal validation (area under the curve 78%). CONCLUSIONS: One out of three miN1M0 patients showed PSA persistence after surgery. Patients with ISUP grade 2-3, as well as patients with organ-confined disease at MRI and a single or two positive nodal findings at PET are those in whom RP may achieve the best oncological outcomes in the context of a multimodal approach. Conversely, patients with a high ISUP grade and extracapsular extension or SVI or more than two spots at PSMA PET should be considered as potentially affected by systemic disease upfront. PATIENT SUMMARY: Our novel and straightforward risk classification integrates currently available preoperative risk tools and should, therefore, assist physician in preoperative counseling of men candidates for radical treatment for prostate cancer with positive lymph node uptake at prostate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography.
