Combined DNA repair defects in testicular metastasis from prostate cancer sensitize to immune checkpoint blockade
Abstract. Testicular metastasis in prostate cancer is uncommon and may be a culprit of widespread disease which portends a worse prognosis. Little is known about the molecular biology of metastases to the testicles and whether there is any role for targeted therapeutics. Here we report a case of pro...
