Apalutamide-induced life-threatening dermatologic toxicity: Clinical histopathological correlations and salvage therapies in four cases: Case report series. (PubMed, Medicine (Baltimore))
This case report highlights the importance of recognizing and managing apalutamide-associated skin AEs. The development of these AEs appears to be dose-dependent, and early discontinuation or dose reduction of the drug is crucial for controlling the symptoms. A multidisciplinary approach involving oncologists and dermatologists is recommended to optimize the treatment strategy and maintain the patients' quality of life.

Delayed regression of atypical meningiomatosis following discontinuation of gender-affirming hormone therapy in a transgender woman: a case report. (PubMed, Br J Neurosurg)
Cyproterone acetate (CPA) is an antiandrogen that may be used in combination with estradiol in gender reaffirmation therapy...However, its effect appears to be delayed, indicating that cessation alone is suboptimal in cases causing significant mass effect and symptomatology. In such cases, early surgical intervention should be considered.

Cost-effectiveness analysis of second-generation androgen receptor antagonists for the treatment of metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer. (PubMed, Front Public Health)
Compared to apalutamide, the ICER for enzalutamide was ¥643,309/QALY, while for darolutamide, the ICER was -¥40,625/QALY. For Chinese mHSPC patients, darolutamide is the most cost-effective treatment at a WTP threshold of ¥287,391/QALY, followed by apalutamide, with enzalutamide being less favorable.

TMPRSS2 Expression in Lung Tissue of Prostatic Adenocarcinoma Patients: Androgen Deprivation Therapy and Relevance to SARS-CoV-2 Infection. (PubMed, Curr Issues Mol Biol)
Direct AR antagonists (apalutamide, bicalutamide) produced greater TMPRSS2 suppression than Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone modulators or androgen biosynthesis inhibitors. Our findings demonstrate that ADT significantly reduces pulmonary TMPRSS2 expression, with direct AR antagonists showing the strongest effect. This suggests a potential mechanistic explanation for differential COVID-19 susceptibility and provides a rationale for investigating AR-targeted therapies as potential protective interventions against SARS-CoV-2 infection severity.
