The incidence of prostatic cancer (PCa) has increased significantly, and the measurement of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is an effective screening tool for its diagnosis. PCa includes a number of specific clinicopathological types, including squamous cell, urothelial, adenoid cystic and small-cell carcinoma, among which small-cell carcinoma of the prostate (SCCP) is extremely rare, accounting for <0.5% of all PCa cases.

Objective: SCCRO/DCUN1D1/DCN1 (squamous cell carcinoma-related oncogene/defective in cullin neddylation 1 domain containing 1/defective in cullin neddylation) is considered as an oncogene, but its role in the prostate cancer (PC) is still not clear. The current study aims to investigate the expression of SCCRO in PC tumor tissues, further its clinical significance, and proliferation inhibiting effect on PC cells in vitro.
Patients And Methods: RT-PCR was used to detect the expression of SCCRO in PC tissue and corresponding adjacent normal tissues from 160 cases, and its relationship with clinical pathological characteristics was analyzed. Read More

Background: Phosphoinositide-3 (PI-3) kinase signaling has a pervasive role in cancer. One of the key effectors of PI-3 kinase signaling is AKT, a kinase that promotes growth and survival in a variety of cancers. Genetically engineered mouse models of prostate cancer have shown that AKT signaling is sufficient to induce prostatic epithelial neoplasia (PIN), but insufficient for progression to adenocarcinoma.

Background: The tumor microenvironment often polarizes infiltrating macrophages towards a type 2, or M2 phenotype, that is characterized by expression of various cysteine-rich, scavenger receptors, including CD163. The primary function of M2 macrophages is to facilitate wound healing. As such, they are capable of providing metabolic support to a growing tumor, neovascularization, as well as protection from cytotoxic T cells. Read More

ΔNp63α is a critical mediator of epithelial development and stem cell function in a variety of tissues including the skin and breast, while overexpression of ΔNp63α acts as an oncogene to drive tumor formation and cancer stem cell properties in squamous cell carcinoma. However, with regards to the prostate, while ΔNp63α is expressed in the basal stem cells of the mature gland, during adenocarcinoma development, its expression is lost and its absence is used to clinically diagnose the malignant state. Surprisingly, here we identify a sub-population of bone metastatic prostate cancer cells in the PC3 cell line that express ΔNp63α. Read More

Lapatinib, a dual inhibitor of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)/ErbB2, has antiproliferative effects and is used to treat patients with ErbB2-positive metastatic breast cancer. In the present study, we examined the effects of lapatinib on growth of oral and prostate cancer cells. Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cell lines HSC3, HSC4 and Ca9-22 were sensitive to the antiproliferative effects of lapatinib in anchorage-dependent culture, but the OSCC cell lines KB and SAS and the prostate cancer cell line DU145 were resistant to lapatinib.

Head and neck cancer patients often present with advanced metastatic disease resulting in a poor 5-year survival. Therefore, there is a need for non-invasive diagnostic tools that could complement conventional imaging to inform clinicians of patient outcomes and treatment responses. A liquid biopsy addresses this unmet clinical need; a simple peripheral blood draw could provide information about the disseminated disease in terms of circulating tumor cells and circulating tumor DNA.

Background And Purpose: A 15-gene hypoxia profile has previously demonstrated to have both prognostic and predictive impact for hypoxic modification in squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck. This gene expression profile may also have a prognostic value in other histological cancer types, and could potentially have a function as a universal hypoxia profile. The hypoxia induced upregulation of the included genes, and the validity of the previously used reference genes was established in this study, in a range of different cell lines representing carcinomas of the prostate, colon, and esophagus.

Brachyury is a transcription factor of the T-box family typically expressed in notochord and chordoma. Some studies report brachyury as highly specific for chordoma, whereas others have concluded that brachyury is expressed in many types of common carcinomas by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemistry and could be involved in the epithelial-mesenchymal transition and metastatic process. In this study, we immunohistochemically evaluated 5229 different tumors for nuclear brachyury expression using a new rabbit monoclonal antibody and automated immunostaining (Leica Bond Max).

Apart from the typical acinar morphology observed in more than 90% of prostatic adenocarcinomas, a spectrum of morphological variants and prostate cancer subtypes exists. Two nosologically different groups can be distinguished: the variants of conventional acinar cancer and cancers with histological pattern, which are unusual for the prostate. Variants of conventional prostate cancer (pseudohyperplastic, foamy gland, hypernephroid, atrophic, microcystic, with Paneth cell-like changes, with collagenous micronodules, with glomeruloid formations, oncocytic) do not have any known prognostic significance and are graded according to the Gleason system.

Tumour markers are high molecular weight glycoproteins whose interpretation in the presence of chronic renal disease may be disturbed. Apart from the prostate specific antigen, human chorionic gonadotropin and α-fetoprotein, their levels rise with chronic renal failure. For some markers, such as carcinoembryonic antigen, carcinogen antigen (CA) 15-3, cytokeratin fragment 21-1 or calcitonin, a threshold may be defined in a population with chronic renal failure, which may allow their use in cancer surveillance.

We report on the case of a 58-year-old male with multiple primary malignant neoplasms, who suffered from three histological types of malignant neoplasm in six organs, namely the glottis, renal pelvis, urinary bladder, oral floor, prostate, and esophagus in chronological order. The first neoplasm was a squamous cell carcinoma of the glottis diagnosed in 2006. Read More

Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a rare variant of prostate cancer. We report a case of a patient who was diagnosed with metastatic adenocarcinoma of the prostate, treated with leuprorelin and subsequently found to have SCC 18 months later. We have found one case in the literature with a similar scenario of possible transformation of adenocarcinoma to SCC secondary to luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) treatment. Read More

A 75-years-old patient with a history of prostate cancer, previously treated with radical prostatectomy, underwent C-choline PET/CT for restaging due to a rise in the prostate-specific antigen level. The study revealed a focal uptake of C-choline in the esophagus. A subsequent endoscopic examination showed the presence of an esophageal lesion, and after surgery, the histologic diagnosis was mildly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. Read More

Context: Immunohistochemistry is important to the pathologist for accurate diagnosis of lung cancer. In recent studies, a rabbit polyclonal p40 (RPp40) antibody demonstrated equivalent staining versus anti-p63 in lung squamous cell carcinoma, and superior specificity because it stains a lesser percentage of lung adenocarcinoma.
Objectives: To develop an anti-p40 mouse monoclonal antibody (MMp40) for immunohistochemistry, and to evaluate its sensitivity and specificity in normal and neoplastic tissues, with emphasis on lung cancer. Read More

High-grade prostate adenocarcinoma can have overlapping morphologic features with high-grade urothelial carcinoma, a critical distinction as treatments differ substantially. Pseudopapillary features have not previously been described in high-grade acinar prostate adenocarcinoma. We reviewed our consult cases (2006 to 2013) for cases of high-grade prostate adenocarcinoma, in which the Gleason score was equal to 5+4=9 or 5+5=10, and the differential diagnosis included high-grade urothelial carcinoma.

The tumor protein p63 (p63), and more specifically the NH2-terminal truncated (ΔN) p63 isoform, is a marker of basal epithelial cells and is required for normal development of several epithelial tissues, including the bladder and prostate glands. Although p63-expressing cells are proposed to be the stem cells of the developing prostate epithelium and bladder urothelium, cell lineages in these endoderm-derived epithelia remain highly controversial, and rigorous lineage tracing studies are warranted. Here, we generated knock-in mice expressing Cre recombinase (Cre) under the control of the endogenous ΔNp63 promoter. Read More

URI, or RMP, is a RNA polymerase II subunit RPB5-associated protein known to play essential roles in ubiquitination and transcription. Recently, we and others have shown that URI/RMP is also important for progression of hepatocellular carcinoma, ovarian, and prostate cancers. To identify the mechanistic basis of URI/RMP during multiple cellular processes, we investigated URI/RMP expression in a tissue microarray (TMA) containing multiple normal human tissues. Read More

Genitourinary schistosomiasis is produced by Schistosoma haematobium, a species of fluke that is endemic to Africa and the Middle East, and causes substantial morbidity and mortality in those regions. It also may be seen elsewhere, as a result of travel or immigration. S haematobium, one of the five fluke species that account for most human cases of schistosomiasis, is the only species that infects the genitourinary system, where it may lead to a wide spectrum of clinical symptoms and signs.
