These tracers enable functional positron emission tomography (PET) imaging, allowing for precise identification of the location and extent of prostate cancer spread. This review serves as a practical guide for multidisciplinary teams caring for prostate cancer patients, outlining the current approved uses of PET imaging with PSMA tracers and exploring its future applications.Recent findings: PSMA PET/CT has become a reliable modality for initial staging in patients with intermediate-to-high risk prostate cancer, restaging in cases of biochemical recurrence and further clarifying disease status among patients with conventional imaging based nonmetastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer and metastatic prostate cancer. Additionally, it has promising roles in selecting patients for radioligand therapy, monitoring treatment response, and guiding therapeutic decision-making.Summary: PSMA PET/CT is currently a crucial imaging tool used at key stages of prostate cancer management, with ongoing research exploring its potential for additional clinical applications.","PeriodicalId":10893,"journal":{"name":"Current Opinion in Oncology","volume":" ","pages":"233-239"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143596552","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This has led to significant efforts to attempt to use a variety of biomarkers to select patients who are candidates for de-escalated treatment.Recent findings: Initially, the field used HPV status alone as a biomarker to select patients with oropharyngeal cancer for de-escalation, however, the recently presented results of NRG Oncology HN005 showed that this is an insufficient strategy to select patients for potential de-escalation as patients in that study who received 60 Gy rather than the standard 70 Gy of radiation had diminished progression-free survival. This has led to a myriad of other strategies to potentially identify patients who may be able to receive less intense treatment but maintain a high rate of cure.Summary: Many biomarker options exist to try and select patients for potential treatment de-escalation. We anxiously await the results of multiple ongoing phase II studies regarding many of these biomarkers and believe that the future of treatment for oropharyngeal cancer will be significantly more personalized.","PeriodicalId":10893,"journal":{"name":"Current Opinion in Oncology","volume":" ","pages":"203-208"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143536775","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A diverse array of metabolic pathways was found to hold significant biological and clinical relevance to BC, with particular emphasis on amino acid (AA), lipid, nucleic acid (NA), and bioenergetic pathways. Recent studies have elucidated utilities for metabolomics in diagnosis of BC, staging and grading the disease, monitoring progression or recurrence, and informing treatment strategies. Specifically, fatty acids were observed to be upregulated by as much as 90-fold in studies focused on BC diagnosis, alongside the upregulation of AA metabolites. Metabolites such as AA, lipids, and aldehydes showed potential as diagnostic biomarkers for BC. NA metabolites were particularly effective in monitoring BC status postsurgical resection. Furthermore, metabolites from lipid, bioenergetic, and AA pathways demonstrated utility in predicting tumor cell sensitivity to chemotherapy.Summary: A broad spectrum of metabolic pathways and metabolites offers significant potential for applications in the diagnosis, staging, monitoring, and treatment of BC. These findings underscore the promise of metabolomics as a valuable tool in improving BC management and patient outcomes.","PeriodicalId":10893,"journal":{"name":"Current Opinion in Oncology","volume":" ","pages":"259-266"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143604119","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

DNA microarray- based differential gene expression has been supplanted by RNA sequencing (RNA-seq), which not only allows for more accurate quantitation but also nucleotide-level resolution to investigate the entire transcriptome, including alternative gene spliced transcripts and noncoding RNA transcripts, whose full clinical implications have yet to be fully understood and realized. Gene classifier platforms that predict risk of recurrence or metastasis are being incorporated into prostate cancer management algorithms.

We will focus on mucositis, dermatitis, dysphagia, pain, cachexia, and infections, as they are among the most common and challenging symptoms encountered.Recent findings: Efforts have focused on multiomics approaches to decipher the complex biological pathways that drive symptom onset and treatment-related toxicities, with the aim of developing novel therapeutic strategies. A notable example is ponsegromab, a monoclonal antibody designed to target cancer cachexia. Other promising areas of research, such as machine-learning models and the role of oral and gut microbiota on cachexia and mucositis, are actively being explored; however, their impact to date remains limited.Summary: In recent years, new knowledge has emerged regarding the underlying causes and predictive models for the supportive care of HNC patients. Unfortunately, this expanding body of knowledge primarily adds to complexity without translating into practical applications or substantial improvements for patients. Future efforts should prioritize the standardization of therapeutic algorithms, and the generation of robust evidence based on existing preclinical models.","PeriodicalId":10893,"journal":{"name":"Current Opinion in Oncology","volume":" ","pages":"194-202"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143604033","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
