The dark side of melanin exposed Sun worshippers may have more to worry about than the DNA damage that occurs while they're relaxing on beach. It seems photoproducts responsible for cancer-causing mutations in skin cells continue be generated hours after sunlight exposure. Premi et al. find a key mediator this delayed is melanin, pigment thought protect against cancer (see Perspective by Taylor). They propose “chemiexcitation” model which reactive oxygen and nitrogen species induced...
Abstract Purpose: The heterogeneity of androgen receptor (AR)-activity (AR-A) is well-characterized in heavily treated metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). However, the diversity and clinical implications AR-A treatment-naïve primary largely unknown. We sought to characterize localized understand its molecular implications. Experimental Design: Genome-wide expression profiles from prostatectomy or biopsy samples 19,470 patients were used, all with independent pathology...
Abstract Black men die more often of prostate cancer yet, interestingly, may derive greater survival benefits from immune-based treatment with sipuleucel-T. Since no signatures immune-responsiveness exist for cancer, we explored race-based immune-profiles to identify vulnerabilities. Here show in multiple independent cohorts comprised over 1,300 patient samples annotated either self-identified race or genetic ancestry, tumors African ancestry have increases plasma cell infiltrate and...

BACKGROUND More than 3.6 million men in the United States harbor a diagnosis of prostate cancer (PCa). The authors sought to provide in‐depth analyses causes death for contemporary survivors. METHODS performed population‐based cohort study (2000‐2016) assess diagnosed with PCa stratified by demographics and tumor stage. Using general population data, they calculated standardized mortality ratios (SMRs) as observed‐to‐expected ratios. RESULTS In total, 752,092 PCa, including 200,302 who died...

This study is a comprehensive, longitudinal assessment of the characteristics special care patients. Demented patients in units (SCUs) within four nursing homes were compared with their demented counterparts same facilities who not placed SCUs. Results this preliminary suggest that two groups differ level cognitive impairment, behavior, and functional physical status. No deleterious or beneficial effects associated SCU residence during 6-month period.
Abstract Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is an established risk factor for colorectal cancer. Recent reports suggesting IBD also a prostate cancer (PC) require further investigation. We studied 218 084 men in the population‐based UK Biobank cohort, aged 40 to 69 at study entry between 2006 and 2010, with follow‐up through mid‐2015. assessed association subsequent PC using multivariable Cox regression analyses, adjusting age assessment, ethnic group, region, smoking status, alcohol drinking...
B7 homolog 3 (B7-H3) is an immunomodulatory molecule that highly expressed in prostate cancer (PCa) and belongs to the superfamily, which includes PD-L1. Immunotherapies (antibodies, antibody-drug conjugates, chimeric antigen receptor T cells) targeting B7-H3 are currently clinical trials; therefore, elucidating molecular immune microenvironment correlates of expression may help guide trial design interpretation. The authors tested interconnected hypotheses associated with genetic racial...
Abstract Background Prostate cancer (PCa) is a clinically heterogeneous disease. The creation of an expression‐based subtyping model based on prostate‐specific biological processes was sought. Methods Unsupervised machine learning gene expression profiles from prospectively collected primary prostate tumors (training, n = 32,000; evaluation, 68,547) used to create classifier (PSC) basal versus luminal cell patterns and other signatures relevant PCa biology. Subtype molecular pathways...
