Prognostic but not predictive: the clinical implications of androgen receptor expression in breast cancer patients undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy. (PubMed, Future Oncol)
Although AR expression correlates with favorable clinicopathologic features in BC patients undergoing NAC, it is not an independent predictor of pathological response or long-term survival outcomes. A key limitation is the analysis of the entire cohort together; given the contrasting biological roles of AR across different molecular subtypes, future studies should evaluate TNBC and Luminal tumors separately.

Combined Dihydroartemisinin and Eupatilin Suppress Prostate Cancer through AR-Associated Ferroptosis and Modulation of Macrophage-Tumor Crosstalk. (PubMed, Research (Wash D C))
In immunocompetent mouse models, D&E further synergized with anti-PD-L1 to suppress PCa progression. Together, these findings indicate that D&E exert antitumor effects in PCa by promoting ferroptosis-associated cell death and modulating macrophage-associated microenvironmental signaling, with potential therapeutic relevance particularly in AR-positive PCa.

Direct Androgen Receptor Antagonism Enhances Therapeutic PSMA Radioligand Uptake in Prostate Cancer Models. (PubMed, Mol Imaging Biol)
Direct AR antagonism enhances functional PSMA availability and increases short-term uptake of PSMA-targeted radioligands in AR-positive prostate cancer models. These findings provide mechanistic support for AR-mediated modulation of PSMA-targeted radioligand delivery and warrant further translational investigation.

Development and internal validation of a nomogram based on HER2 status for predicting pathological complete response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in triple-negative breast cancer. (PubMed, Transl Cancer Res)
The nomogram based on HER2 status shows promising preliminary predictive performance in predicting pCR. Given the lack of external validation and single‑center design, this model remains exploratory and hypothesis‑generating.

Primary apocrine carcinoma of the breast incidentally detected on CT angiography: Imaging-pathology correlation in a rare histologic subtype. (PubMed, Radiol Case Rep)
The patient subsequently underwent therapeutic mastectomy. This case highlights the nonspecific imaging features of AC and emphasizes the key role of histopathology and immunohistochemical profiling in diagnosis and management.

Glutamyl-tRNA synthetase 2 regulates mitochondrial biogenesis and reactive oxygen species homeostasis mediatingenzalutamide resistance by targeting striatin 4 in prostate cancer cells. (PubMed, J Physiol Pharmacol)
Although enzalutamide (ENZA) has improved the overall survival of patients with metastatic prostate cancer, ENZA resistance (ENZA-resistant) inevitably develops, largely limiting its efficacy...In AR-sensitive LNCaP cells, changes in EARS2 expression were explored before and after stimulation with dihydrotestosterone (DHT) or bicalutamide...Mechanistically, EARS2 inhibited mitochondrial biogenesis and ROS generation in PCa cells by targeting STRN4. EARS2 targets STRN4 to modulate mitochondrial biogenesis and ROS homeostasis mediating ENZA-resistant.

Nonsteroidal 18F-Labeled PET Tracer for Imaging Androgen Receptors. (PubMed, J Nucl Med)
We developed a first-in-class SARM-based AR tracer that displays high affinity and selectivity for AR in vitro and in vivo. This represents a suitable PET tracer to image AR status in rodent models and provides a strong rationale for clinical translation of [18F]F-SARM3 as a high-affinity AR agonist PET imaging agent.

Targeting the ELF1/EGFR/ERK positive feedback loop overcomes resistance to androgen receptor inhibition in AR-Vs positive prostate cancer. (PubMed, Neoplasia)
Mechanistically, our data indicate that ELF1 transcriptionally regulates EGFR and that ERK1/2 interacts with ELF1, suggesting the existence of a positive ELF1/EGFR/ERK feedback loop that sustains resistance. This study elucidates a possible mechanism of resistance to AR inhibition driven by an ELF1/EGFR/ERK feedback loop in AR-Vs positive cells and provides a rationale for combining EGFR inhibitors with AR-targeted therapy as a potential treatment strategy for patients with advanced, enzalutamide-resistant prostate cancer.

Spatial organization of the tumor immune microenvironment in LAR+ triple-negative breast cancer. (PubMed, Front Immunol)
Given the small sample size and the inclusion of immune checkpoint inhibitors in a subset of patients, all of whom achieved pCR, these observations should be considered strictly hypothesis-generating. Larger and more homogeneous cohorts will be required to validate these findings and to determine their potential clinical relevance.

Systematic analysis of hippo pathway signaling identifies TEAD1 as a transcriptional regulator of neuroendocrine prostate cancer. (PubMed, Neoplasia)
These findings indicate that the conversion of ARPC to NEPC involves coordinated loss of AR, YAP1, and REST activity alongside sustained TEAD1 expression and altered RNA processing. Our data identify TEAD1 as a transcriptional regulator associated with the NEPC state and suggest a role for TEAD1-linked transcriptional and post-transcriptional mechanisms in prostate cancer lineage plasticity.

Think Adnexal Tumor Beyond the Usual Site: Fine-Needle Aspiration Cytology of Trichoblastoma Presenting as a Large Subcutaneous Mass in the Thigh. (PubMed, Diagnostics (Basel))
The patient remained recurrence-free 12 months after surgery. Careful assessment of characteristic cytomorphological features, particularly a dual population of basaloid epithelial cells with peripheral palisading and specialized follicular stromal cells, is vital for the accurate preoperative cytological characterization of trichoblastoma, even at atypical anatomical sites.

Integrative Surface Antigen Profiling of KLK2 and STEAP1 in Advanced Prostate Cancer. (PubMed, Mol Cancer Res)
Further, KLK2 and STEAP1 expression states were associated with distinct transcriptional programs and immune microenvironmental features. Implications: These findings establish KLK2 and STEAP1 as key prostate adenocarcinoma-lineage antigens and provide critical insights to inform the rational design and clinical development of cell-surface antigen-directed therapies in prostate cancer.
