Identifying myosin heavy chain 11 as a predictive biomarker of prostate cancer progression and antiandrogen resistance. (PubMed, Oncol Lett)
Using the GSE211781 dataset from the Gene Expression Omnibus database, the present study analyzed RNA-sequencing data from lymph node carcinoma of the prostate (LNCaP) cell lines resistant to three antiandrogen drugs: Bicalutamide, enzalutamide and apalutamide. Functional assays in C4-2 and LNCaP cells further indicated that MYH11 modulates sensitivity to bicalutamide and enzalutamide. Collectively, the present study findings suggest that MYH11 may serve as a potential predictive biomarker of PCa development and antiandrogen drug resistance in the future.

Antiandrogen therapies: Management of drug interactions with anticoagulation. (PubMed, J Oncol Pharm Pract)
Drug metabolism of antiandrogens and anticoagulants was examined, including the effects of CYP450 enzyme and/or P-glycoprotein (P-gp) inhibition and induction on anticoagulant efficacy and safety.ResultsEnzalutamide and apalutamide are strong inducers of CYP3A4, which may reduce exposure to warfarin, apixaban, and rivaroxaban. Darolutamide and abiraterone exhibit minimal CYP450 induction and inhibition, and do not interact with warfarin or DOACs.ConclusionDrug-drug interactions between antiandrogens and anticoagulants are common and can affect therapeutic efficacy and safety. Clinical decision-making surrounding drug selection requires an interprofessional approach grounded in pharmacokinetic knowledge to ensure safe and effective care in patients with prostate cancer.

Therapeutic Advances in Metastatic Prostate Cancer: A Journey from Standard of Care to New Emerging Treatment. (PubMed, Int J Mol Sci)
We detail the evidence supporting the integration of systemic agents like abiraterone, enzalutamide, and darolutamide into both hormone-sensitive and castration-resistant settings. Furthermore, we highlight the expanding role of radioligand therapies, including radium-223 and Lutetium-177-labeled PSMA-617 (Lu-PSMA-617), as well as the growing impact of PARP inhibitors in genomically selected patients. The emergence of theranostic strategies and next-generation sequencing has paved the way for personalized treatment algorithms, moving toward a truly precision oncology model in PCa. This comprehensive review synthesizes current therapeutic strategies, clinical trial evidence, and future directions aimed at optimizing outcomes and quality of life for patients with advanced prostate cancer.

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.
