Revolutionizing cancer care: Bioprinting prostate cancer stem cells for targeted treatments.
Review in World journal of clinical oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Prostate cancer (PCa), one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality in men worldwide, presents significant challenges due to its heterogeneity and the presence of cancer stem cells (CSCs), which contribute to therapy resistance and metastasis. Advances in three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting have ushered in a new era of precision medicine by enabling the recreation of complex tumor microenvironments. This review highlights the transformative potential of 3D bioprinting technology in modelling prostate cancer stem cells (PCSCs) to identify therapeutic vulnerabilities and develop targeted treatments. By integrating bioinks with PCSCs and their niche components, 3D bioprinting offers a robust platform to investigate the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying PCa progression and resistance. Furthermore, it allows high-throughput drug screening, cellular cross talks, facilitating the discovery of novel interventions aimed at eradicating CSCs while preserving healthy tissue. The review also discusses the challenges of scalability, bioink optimization, and clinical translation, alongside emerging technologies such as organ-on-chip systems and bioprinted metastatic models. This review underscores the promise of bioprinting as a disruptive innovation in cancer care, capable of redefining therapeutic approaches and offering hope for better patient outcomes in PCa.
