Impact of androgen receptor on triple negative breast cancer: a systematic review and meta-analytic study. (PubMed, BMJ Public Health)
Although significance was observed only in certain subgroups, AR status may have clinical value and warrants further investigation using standardised assessment methods. CRD42023447385.

Implemented one-pot two step fully automated synthesis of [18F]FPIA for metabolic imaging applications. (PubMed, Nucl Med Biol)
In summary, an optimized one-pot, two-step synthesis of [18F]FPIA on a vial-based automated synthesizer was successful and a seamless transition into a GMP facility is reported, enabling a streamlined transition to clinical production. Furthermore, we have demonstrated the use of [18F]FPIA for noninvasive metabolic imaging in prostate cancer and its potential to distinguish between different prostate cancer subtypes.

Androgen receptor contributes to radioresistance through DNA repair and autophagy in AR-positive prostate cancer cells. (PubMed, bioRxiv)
Moreover, immunohistochemical analysis of ex vivo- irradiated, patient - derived PCa tissues from patients with newly diagnosed high - Gleason score prostate cancer undergoing prostatectomy further demonstrated that radiation-induced autophagy supports the survival of high-grade AR-positive tumor cells. Collectively, our findings reveal that AR promotes radioresistance in PCa by enhancing both DNA repair and autophagy.

Systemic Therapy for Salivary Gland Cancers: A Review of Targeted and Chemotherapeutic Approaches. (PubMed, Curr Treat Options Oncol)
Small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors such as lenvatinib and axitinib may provide disease stabilization in adenoid cystic carcinoma, although tumor shrinkage is uncommon and toxicity limits their long-term use. For most patients without a targetable alteration, platinum-based combinations remain the pragmatic choice, though expectations for benefit should be tempered. Future strategies will likely hinge on optimizing biomarker-driven therapies, expanding access to antibody-drug conjugates, and pursuing collaborative trial designs to overcome the rarity and heterogeneity of these tumors.

Targeting DHODH Reveals a Metabolic Vulnerability in AR-positive and AR-negative Prostate Cancer Cells via Pyrimidine Synthesis and Metabolic Crosstalk with the TCA and Urea Cycles. (PubMed, Mol Metab)
Consequently, combination therapies targeting DHODH and glutamine metabolism were synergistic in impairing PCa cell proliferation. Altogether, these results highlight DHODH as a metabolic vulnerability of AR-positive and AR-negative PCa cells by regulating central carbon and nitrogen metabolism.

Androgen Receptor as a Prognostic Biomarker in Breast Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. (PubMed, Crit Rev Oncol Hematol)
AR expression is associated with improved prognosis in ER-positive BC, but its role in TNBC and HER2-positive BC remains unclear due to heterogeneity and non-significant results. Standardized AR evaluation and prospective studies are needed to confirm its prognostic and predictive value for personalized BC treatment.

Progression of Nasopharyngeal Pleomorphic Adenoma to Carcinoma Ex Pleomorphic Adenoma With Metastases: A Case Report. (PubMed, Cureus)
This case underscores several diagnostic challenges: (1) histology from the primary lesion initially suggested a benign tumour, discordant with aggressive radiological features; (2) ancillary molecular testing with PLAG1 FISH was critical in linking the primary PA with metastatic carcinoma; and (3) HER2 overexpression and androgen receptor positivity highlighted potential therapeutic targets, though the rapid disease course precluded treatment. Correlation of imaging, histology, cytology, and molecular studies is crucial, particularly when biopsy findings appear discordant with clinical behaviour.

Role of ERβ in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Associated with p53 and Androgen Receptor. (PubMed, Int J Mol Sci)

Characterising the effect of circulating sphingolipids on metastatic prostate cancer cells. (PubMed, EBioMedicine)
These findings suggest that the circulating 3LS is not just a prognostic biomarker, but an actionable signature reflecting changes in PC biology. The plasma lipid milieu identified by the 3LS drives a pro-survival phenotype by modifying lipid metabolism and upregulating ceramide/S1P signalling. The study provides the biological rationale to target ceramide-S1P signalling in patients, who are 3LS-positive.

Unresectable Desmoplastic Small Round Cell Tumor: A Case Report and Review of the Literature. (PubMed, Case Rep Oncol)
We report the case of a 38-year-old male with unresectable intra-abdominal DSRCT treated with the VAC-IE regimen (vincristine, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide, alternating with ifosfamide and etoposide) as first-line therapy...As second-line therapy, he received gemcitabine and docetaxel...Alternative regimens include temozolomide plus irinotecan or gemcitabine plus doxorubicin. In patients with androgen receptor positivity, hormonal blockade with leuprolide and bicalutamide may be a therapeutic option, particularly in frail patients...DSRCT is a challenging and aggressive malignancy requiring a multidisciplinary and individualized approach. The combination of systemic therapy and local control measures remains critical for improving patient outcomes.
