USP1-mediated lipophagy-lipogenesis axis drives cholangiocarcinoma progression and immune evasion. (PubMed, J Immunother Cancer)
In summary, based on multi-omics analysis, this study establishes a systemic mechanism that links tumor lipid metabolism, immune suppression, and therapeutic response in CCA. Targeting the USP1-mediated metabolic-immune axis not only significantly suppresses tumor progression but also enhances the efficacy of immunotherapy. These findings construct a conceptual framework that integrates metabolic reprogramming, immune evasion, and treatment sensitivity, thereby establishing USP1 as a precision therapeutic target with broad biological and clinical importance for patients with CCA.

Single-cell immunoprofiling reveals a dysfunctional-like immune microenvironment and malignant phenotype in aging penile squamous cell carcinoma. (PubMed, Cell Biol Toxicol)
Our study systematically addressed the effects of aging on PSCC and identified IL1B as a potential prognostic marker for PSCC, offering a framework for the classification management and treatment of PSCC patients.

Primary Ewing Sarcoma of the Penis in an Adult Man: First Reported Case in France. (PubMed, Fr J Urol)
A partial penectomy and adjuvant chemotherapy with vincristine, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide alternating once every 2 weeks with ifosphamide and etoposide were performed, with no recurrence at one year. This case highlights the importance of initial management of tumors of undetermined type, where complete surgical treatment is key to improving disease-free survival (DFS). To our knowledge, this is the first reported case in France.

Comparison of PET imaging of [18F]F-FAPI and [18F]F-FDG for diagnosis of suspected lymph node metastases in penile squamous cell carcinoma: a prospective pilot study. (PubMed, Eur J Nucl Med Mol Imaging)
[18F]F-FAPI PET/CT demonstrates promising diagnostic performance in detecting ILN metastases in patients with PSCC compared to [18F]F-FDG. This modality holds potential value in refining patient selection for inguinal lymph node dissection and reducing unnecessary surgical morbidity.

Omega-3 fatty acids attenuate alterations in penile erectile response by enhancing sexual behavior, nitric oxide-mediated signaling, and penile antioxidant status in tamoxifen-exposed rats. (PubMed, BMC Pharmacol Toxicol)
Based on these results, TAM administration in healthy rats was associated with increased penile oxidative stress, while O3FA attenuated some of these changes.

Histological and Molecular Evaluation of HPV in Primary Tumors and Lymph Node Metastases of Penile Cancer. (PubMed, Cancers (Basel))
In most HPV-positive metastatic cases, the same HPV genotypes were detected in both the metastasis and the penile tumor. Both p16 staining and histological subtype can serve as surrogates for molecular HPV testing in lower resourced settings. In this dataset, no significant association was found between HPV status, p16 expression, or p53 expression and the presence of ILNM, suggesting their limited utility as predictive markers for ILNM in penile cancer.

B7-H3 (CD276) as Target for T Cell-Based Bispecific Antibody Therapy of Penile Cancer. (PubMed, Immunotargets Ther)
These results demonstrate the strong immunostimulatory capacity of CC-3 and validate B7-H3 as a relevant target for T cell-based immunotherapy in PeCa. Our findings support the ongoing inclusion of PeCa patients in the clinical CC-3 trial and encourage further development of B7-H3-directed strategies for this rare, understudied malignancy.
