A large screening trial showed that using prostate-specific antigen density (PSAD) before MRI prevented overdiagnosis and lowered resource use while preserving the detection of clinically significant ...

Biparametric MRI, which omits the dynamic contrast enhancement sequence, can detect clinically significant prostate cancer as well as multiparametric MRI. Biparametric MRI performs as well as ...

Microultrasonography for prostate biopsy detected clinically significant cancer at rates comparable to MRI-guided approaches. Detection rates for clinically insignificant cancers did not differ among ...

A new urine test performed better than PSA-based testing and MRI for monitoring low-risk prostate cancers on active ...

High-resolution microultrasonography-guided biopsy was non-inferior to MRI fusion-guided biopsy for detecting clinically significant prostate cancer (detection rates, 47.1% and 42.6%, respectively), a ...

A pretreatment MRI in men undergoing radical prostatectomy can provide independent prognostic value for oncologic outcomes, a systematic review and meta-analysis indicated. MRI-detected extraprostatic ...

Angus Chen covers all issues broadly related to cancer including drugs, policy, science, and equity. He joined STAT in 2021 after covering health and science at NPR and NPR affiliate stations. His ...

There are several strategies for the early detection of prostate cancer. The first step is often a blood test for prostate-specific antigen (PSA). If PSA levels exceed a certain threshold, the next ...

Extraprostatic extension or seminal vesicle invasion detected on preoperative MRI were independently associated with biochemical recurrence and metastatic failure after radical prostatectomy even ...

Targeting men in the top 10% of genetic risk helped detect high-grade prostate cancer that conventional screening would miss, paving the way for more personalized and effective early detection ...

Biopsies guided by high resolution ultrasound are as effective as those using MRI in diagnosing prostate cancer, an international clinical trial has shown. The technology, called micro-ultrasound, is ...
