    Background: Innovations in treatments, imaging, and molecular characterisation in advanced prostate cancer have improved outcomes, but various areas of management still lack high-level evidence to inform clinical practice. The 2021 Advanced Prostate Cancer Consensus Conference (APCCC) addressed some of these questions to supplement guidelines that are based on level 1 evidence. Objective: To present the voting results from APCCC 2021. Design, setting, and participants: The experts identified three major areas of controversy related to management of advanced prostate cancer: newly diagnosed metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC), the use of prostate-specific membrane antigen ligands in diagnostics and therapy, and molecular characterisation of tissue and blood. A panel of 86 international prostate cancer experts developed the programme and the consensus questions. Outcome measurements and statistical analysis: The panel voted publicly but anonymously on 107 pre-defined questions, which were developed by both voting and nonvoting panel members prior to the conference following a modified Delphi process. Results and limitations: The voting reflected the opinions of panellists and did not incorporate a standard literature review or formal meta-analysis. The answer options for the consensus questions received varying degrees of support from panellists, as reflected in this article and the detailed voting results reported in the Supplementary material. Conclusions: These voting results from a panel of experts in advanced prostate cancer can help clinicians and patients to navigate controversial areas of management for which high-level evidence is scant. However, diagnostic and treatment decisions should always be individualised according to patient characteristics, such as the extent and location of disease, prior treatment(s), comorbidities, patient preferences, and treatment recommendations, and should also incorporate current and emerging clinical evidence and logistic and economic constraints. Enrolment in clinical trials should be strongly encouraged. Importantly, APCCC 2021 once again identified salient questions that merit evaluation in specifically designed trials. Patient summary: The Advanced Prostate Cancer Consensus Conference is a forum for discussing current diagnosis and treatment options for patients with advanced prostate cancer. An expert panel votes on predefined questions focused on the most clinically relevant areas for treatment of advanced prostate cancer for which there are gaps in knowledge. The voting results provide a practical guide to help clinicians in discussing treatment options with patients as part of shared decision-making. (c) 2022 The Author(s).

    The Metagenomics and Metadesign of the Subways and Urban Biomes (MetaSUB) International Consortium inaugural meeting report

Int
    The Metagenomics and Metadesign of the Subways and Urban Biomes (MetaSUB) International Consortium is a novel, interdisciplinary initiative comprised of experts across many fields, including genomics, data analysis, engineering, public health, and architecture. The ultimate goal of the MetaSUB Consortium is to improve city utilization and planning through the detection, measurement, and design of metagenomics within urban environments. Although continual measures occur for temperature, air pressure, weather, and human activity, including longitudinal, cross-kingdom ecosystem dynamics can alter and improve the design of cities. The MetaSUB Consortium is aiding these efforts by developing and testing metagenomic methods and standards, including optimized methods for sample collection, DNA/RNA isolation, taxa characterization, and data visualization. The data produced by the consortium can aid city planners, public health officials, and architectural designers. In addition, the study will continue to lead to the discovery of new species, global maps of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) markers, and novel biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs). Finally, we note that engineered metagenomic ecosystems can help enable more responsive, safer, and quantified cities.

    PTEN and AKT1 Variations in Childhood T-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
    (GALENOS YAYINCILIK, 2020-01-01) Kucukcankurt, Fulya; Erbilgin, Yucel; Firtina, Sinem; Ng, Ozden Hatirnaz; Karakas, Zeynep; Celkan, Tiraje; Unuvar, Aysegul; Ozbek, Ugur; Sayitoglu, Muge
    Objective: PTEN/AKT pathway deregulations have been reported to be associated with treatment response in acute leukemia. This study examined pediatric T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) samples for PTEN and AKT1 gene variations and evaluated the clinical findings. Materials and Methods: Fifty diagnostic bone marrow samples of childhood T-ALL cases were investigated for the hotspot regions of the PTEN and AKT1 genes by targeted next-generation sequencing. Results: A total of five PTEN variations were found in three of the 50 T-ALL cases (6\%). Three of the PTEN variations were first reported in this study. Furthermore, one patient clearly had two different mutant clones for PTEN. Two intronic single-nucleotide variations were found in AKT1 and none of the patients carried pathogenic AKT1 variations. Conclusion: Targeted deep sequencing allowed us to detect both low-level variations and clonal diversity. Low-level PTEN/AKT1 variation frequency makes it harder to investigate the clinical associations of the variants. On the other hand, characterization of the PTEN/AKT signaling members is important for improving case-specific therapeutic strategies.
