Does imaging-based clinical staging improve the predictive performance of the CAPRA score?
Biochemical recurrence (BCR) after radical prostatectomy (RP) remains a major clinical challenge, necessitating accurate preoperative risk stratification. We evaluated whether replacing digital rectal examination (DRE)-based staging with imaging-based staging improves the predict...

Translational insights and clinical challenges of targeting cancer stem cells
Abstract Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are tumor cell subsets with self-renewal, multilineage differentiation, and tumor-initiating capacity that sustain cancer initiation, progression, metastasis, and relapse. Targeting CSCs therefore represents a promising route to improve the durab...
