    Targeting Androgen Receptor (AR) with Antiandrogen Enzalutamide Increases Prostate Cancer Cell Invasion Yet Decreases Bladder Cancer Cell Invasion via Differentially Altering the AR/circRNA-ARC1/miR-125b-2-3p or miR-4736/PPARγ/MMP-9 Signals

    The authors found targeting androgens/AR with either the recently developed antiandrogen Enzalutamide or AR-shRNAs led to increased prostate cancer cell invasion, yet decreased bladder cancer cell invasion.

    Abstract

    Prostate Cancer Immunotherapy-Finally in from the Cold?

    Scientists discuss the promise of immunotherapy in prostate cancer treatment with an emphasis on emerging therapeutic targets. Most prostate tumors have a low tumor mutational burden and lack immunogenicity, representing significant hurdles to the induction of anti-tumor immunity.
