Cancer drugs like docetaxel work against prostate, lung, and other cancers, but they hit the whole body and often do not fully wake up the immune system. In this study, the research team built tiny nanoparticles (about 100–120 nm across) that carry docetaxel plus a light‑activated dye (IR808) and are made to open mainly inside […]
Researchers at Duke University have developed a new ultrasound‑based method called SonoPIN (“Sonoporation‑assisted Precise Intracellular Nanodelivery”) that helps large anticancer molecules get inside tumor cells with high precision, while causing minimal damage to healthy tissue. In early lab experiments, the technique killed about half of the targeted cancer cells, while more than 99% of non‑targeted […]
Enolen is an investigational anti‑androgen implant designed to deliver enzalutamide directly inside the prostate, aiming to shrink localized prostate tumors while minimizing systemic exposure to the drug. In data from a National Cancer Institute–led phase‑1 study, the device produced an 84% reduction in measurable tumor volume on MRI over roughly five weeks in men scheduled […]
Scientists have developed a promising new CAR‑T cell therapy for osteosarcoma, the most common bone cancer in children, adolescents, and young adults, and the work carries a cautiously optimistic signal for other solid tumors, including metastatic prostate cancer. In a preclinical study, researchers at Case Western Reserve University and University Hospitals engineered T cells to […]
LAST WEEK TODAY! A summary of what was published on ProstateWarriors.com during the past week Hi fellow warriors! Here we are again. We fall, we get back up, we gather our strength, and we move forward. Another week of encouraging news, my friends. Stay strong and fight on! As usual, we also have a podcast if you […]
A recent study, published on Nature, in metastatic castration‑resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) shows that a simple blood test can reveal important information about how the tumor is reprogramming its metabolism and how it responds to enzalutamide, a common androgen‑receptor‑targeting drug. Researchers analyzed the entire circulating “lipidome” (the full panel of fats and related molecules in […]
A new preclinical study shows how a simple tissue sample can be turned into a powerful tool for understanding and treating advanced prostate cancer. Researchers have developed a method to grow patient‑derived organoids from prostate tissue fragments removed during routine transurethral resection of the prostate, or TUR‑P, a common procedure often done for urinary symptoms. […]
A new phase 2 EQUIP trial is comparing two different ways of delivering androgen‑suppressive hormone therapy in men with newly diagnosed or recurrent metastatic hormone‑sensitive prostate cancer, focusing on whether transdermal estrogen patches can improve quality of life compared with standard luteinizing hormone‑releasing hormone (LHRH) analogues. The study is designed around two randomized cohorts, each […]
A new investigational agent code‑named GLR2037 has entered early clinical development as a first‑in‑human phase 1 study in patients with advanced prostate cancer, representing a significant step in the evolution of androgen receptor–directed therapies. GLR2037 is an androgen receptor (AR)–targeting proteolysis‑targeting chimera (PROTAC), designed not merely to inhibit the AR but to promote its ubiquitin‑proteasome–mediated […]
A recent post hoc analysis of the phase 3 EMBARK trial in high‑risk biochemical recurrent prostate cancer has generated considerable interest because it suggests that durable, long‑term PSA control can occur even after testosterone has fully recovered to eugonadal levels, challenging the conventional assumption that hormonal suppression must be continuous to maintain remission. The analysis […]
