A case of a patient who achieved remission of metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer after receiving rituximab and bendamustine for the treatment of follicular lymphoma is presented.
Abstract
Nearly all men with prostate cancer who are treated with androgen deprivation therapy develop disease progression. There is considerable evidence to suggest that CXCL 13 released by tumor cells leads to B-cell infiltration into the prostate cells. This B-cell infiltration has been postulated to play a role in development of disease progression following androgen-deprivation therapies. We present a case of a patient who achieved remission of metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer after receiving rituximab and bendamustine for the treatment of follicular lymphoma. The findings in this report suggest that further investigation is warranted for utilizing B-cell targeted therapy in delaying progression of castrate-resistant prostate cancer.

NF-κB signaling promotes castration-resistant prostate cancer initiation and progression

TL;DR: Evidence that NF-κB signaling promotes CRPCa initiation and progression is presented, the dichotomic role of NF- ΚB in the regulation of AR expression and activity is described and studies that explore NF-σκB inhibitors as PCa therapies are outlined.

Neoadjuvant rituximab modulates the tumor immune environment in patients with high risk prostate cancer

TL;DR: This is the first study to treat patients prior to surgical prostate removal with an immunotherapy that targets B-cells, demonstrating inter-dependence between B- and T-cells in prostate cancer and that Rituximab can modify the immune environment in prostate tumors.

Revisiting prostate cancer metabolism: From metabolites to disease and therapy

TL;DR: In this paper, the status of prostate cancer treatment based on the inhibition of metabolic pathways is presented, highlighting the critical metabolic alterations that could have a clinical and therapeutic interest, and the role of bioenergetic sources, namely, glucose, lipids, and glutamine sustaining PCa cell survival and growth.

Chapter 9. Field Discoveries (Case Reports)

TL;DR: In this article , the authors follow the process by which field discoveries made by clinicians in their everyday practice are diffused, validated in larger trials, and adopted into clinical practice through real-world drug repurposing (off-label use), sometimes gaining regulatory approval.

Docetaxel plus Prednisone or Mitoxantrone plus Prednisone for Advanced Prostate Cancer

TL;DR: When given with prednisone, treatment with docetaxel every three weeks led to superior survival and improved rates of response in terms of pain, serum PSA level, and quality of life, as compared with mitoxantrone plusprednisone.

Docetaxel Plus Prednisone or Mitoxantrone Plus Prednisone for Advanced Prostate Cancer: Updated Survival in the TAX 327 Study

TL;DR: It is confirmed that survival of men with metastatic HRPC is significantly longer after treatment with D3P than with MP, and consistent results are observed across subgroups of patients.
