Background: Cancer cells are capable of evading clearance by macrophages through overexpression of anti-phagocytic surface proteins known as "don't eat me" signals. Monoclonal antibodies that antagonize the "don't-eat-me" signaling in macrophages and tumor cells by targeting phagocytic checkpoints have shown therapeutic promises in several cancer types. However, studies on the responses to these drugs have revealed the existence of other unknown "don't eat me" signals. Moreover, identification of key molecules and interactions regulating macrophage phagocytosis is required....
Radical prostatectomy (RP) combined with pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) is the first step in multimodal treatment of prostate cancer (PCa) without distant metastases. For a long time, the surgical resection range has been highly dependent on the surgeon's visualization and experience with preoperative imaging. With the rapid development of prostate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography and single-photon emission computed tomography (PSMA-PET and PSMA-SPECT), PSMA-targeted surgery has been introduced for a more accurate pathological diagnosis and complete resection of positive....
