Shotgun metagenomic sequencing of serum extracellular vesicle-derived DNA enables microbial profiling in urothelial carcinoma

Shotgun metagenomic sequencing provides more detailed microbial information than 16 S rRNA sequencing but requires higher cost and larger sample volumes. We evaluated whether shotgun metagenomic sequencing could detect bacterial DNA in serum extracellular vesicles. Serum samples...

[ 18 F ] PSMA ‐1007 PET –Based Recurrence Site Distribution and Predictors of Metastatic Disease in Patients With Biochemical Recurrence of Prostate Cancer

ABSTRACT Objectives Prostate‐specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography (PSMA‐PET) is a sensitive imaging modality for detecting recurrent prostate cancer following definitive local therapy. However, evidence on 18 F‐labeled PSMA tracers in Japanese patients with bioc...
