Treatment Strategies in Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer: A Narrative Review of Considerations in the Post-ARTA, Post-Docetaxel Setting. (PubMed, Oncol Ther)
Available therapeutic options include radioligand therapy (e.g. lutetium-177-PSMA-617), cabazitaxel, PARP inhibitors (particularly for patients with DNA repair gene alterations), second-line ARTAs, further chemotherapy and immunotherapeutic approaches. Finally, the review provides an overview of promising emerging therapies poised to expand the treatment landscape for mCRPC. These include bispecific T cell engagers, androgen receptor degraders, and antibody-drug conjugates, which are currently under investigation in clinical trials and may soon offer new avenues for treatment beyond traditional mechanisms.

Cytotoxic and anti-metastatic effects of Pllans-II from Porthidium lansbergii lansbergii venom against prostate cancer cells. (PubMed, Biochem Biophys Res Commun)
In contrast, it spared non-tumorigenic prostate epithelial cells (PCS-440-010), unlike Docetaxel...Western blot analysis revealed no change in the caspase-8 expression, but a marked upregulation of Beclin-1, probably related to autophagy cell death pathways. These findings highlight the selective cytotoxicity and anti-metastatic potential of Pllans-II, positioning it as a promising prototype for the development of novel therapeutic strategies against prostate cancer.

A Case of Suspected Contralateral Occult Breast Cancer Occurring a Decade Following Breast Cancer Surgery (PubMed, Gan To Kagaku Ryoho)
Postoperatively, the patient received TC(docetaxel+cyclophosphamide) chemotherapy, total breast irradiation, and tamoxifen for 10 years. Considering the different subtypes and absence of other lesions, the patient was considered to have latent breast cancer as a new lesion. Chemotherapy, including anti- HER2 therapy, radiotherapy, and endocrine therapy, was administered as adjuvant treatment.

Laparoscopic Resection of an Ectopic Endometriosis-Associated Carcinoma Arising in the Rectum-A Case Report (PubMed, Gan To Kagaku Ryoho)
The patient received 6 courses of adjuvant chemotherapy with docetaxel and carboplatin. No recurrence has been detected during 3 years and 9 months of postoperative follow-up. This case may provide valuable insight into the diagnosis and multidisciplinary management of this uncommon disease.

Subtype Change and Treatment Refractoriness at the Time of Recurrence in a Patient with Breast Cancer (PubMed, Gan To Kagaku Ryoho)
At the time of tracheotomy, biopsy evaluation revealed that the metastatic left supraclavicular lymph nodes were ER- and HER2-positive; therefore, the treatment was switched to a trastuzumab, pertuzumab, and docetaxel(TPD)combination for HER2-positive recurrent breast cancer. However, PET-CT revealed increased accumulation in the recurrent lesions, and the treatment was switched to trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd). The accumulation of recurrent foci became less pronounced and the patient continued to progress without further deterioration.

Overexpression of lncRNA SNHG12 promotes docetaxel resistance of prostate cancer cells by activating PI3K/AKT signaling via interacting with ELAVL1 (PubMed, Nan Fang Yi Ke Da Xue Xue Bao)
SNHG12 knockdown inhibits DTX resistance of PCa cells by reducing SNHG12 binding to ELAVL1 to inhibit the activation the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.

Novel quinoxaline-based survivin degraders overcome docetaxel-resistance in castration-resistant prostate cancer. (PubMed, Drug Resist Updat)
This work introduces a first-in-class therapeutic approach that overcomes long-standing barriers to drugging survivin, offering a new avenue for combating docetaxel-resistant metastatic CRPC. With robust efficacy, a favorable safety profile, and potential for clinical translation, 7I10 and 7I14 represent significant advancements in the development of targeted cancer therapies to overcome docetaxel resistance.

Emergence of BRCA Reversion Mutations in Prostate Cancer Prior to PARP Inhibitor Exposure: Clinical and Therapeutic Implications. (PubMed, Cancer Med)
BRCArev can emerge in PCA in the absence of prior PARPi therapy, particularly following exposure to cytotoxic chemotherapy and radiation. These findings support that DNA-damaging therapies may promote BRCArev formation, potentially predisposing to primary PARPi resistance. Early integration of PARPi therapy before chemotherapy may enhance clinical benefit and circumvent emergence of primary resistance.

Menopausal Status Associated With Docetaxel-Induced Vascular Dysfunction in Breast Cancer Patients. (PubMed, J Am Coll Cardiol)
TAC-induced vascular dysfunction seen in breast cancer survivors is absent in premenopausal women, likely owing to estrogen-mediated protection against oxidative stress and eNOS inhibition.

Targeting the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway in prostate cancer: Molecular dysregulation, therapeutic advances, and future directions. (PubMed, Saudi Pharm J)
The study particularly focuses on the combined use of immunotherapy (checkpoint inhibitors), chemotherapy (docetaxel), and androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), which are designed to break through the resistance-generating mechanisms and increase clinical efficacy...The current discussion also investigates the emerging areas of focus and perfection of combination regimens. The combination of all these developments makes it clear that the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signalling pathway is a key strategic point for developing therapeutics.
