A subset of men with prostate cancer have elevated periprostatic androgens compared with levels in peripheral blood, which are associated with poor clinical outcomes after radical prostatectomy. This new paradigm for gonadal androgen physiology is termed ‘sneaky T’ phenomenon.
Ferroptosis induction is a promising new therapeutic strategy for advanced prostate cancer. In this Perspective, the authors discuss the interplay between ferroptosis and metabolism. Current efforts to target ferroptosis and combination therapies in prostate cancer, as well as emerging methods to monitor this process in patients, are also discussed.
In this Perspective, the authors discuss the idea of targeting histone modifications in bladder cancer, providing a comprehensive overview of findings from preclinical and translational studies. Clinical trials in which the efficacy of molecules targeting histone modifiers was assessed in bladder cancer are also discussed.
