Compared with systematic biopsy, MRI-directed targeted biopsy reduces the risk of overdiagnosis of prostate cancer for men with elevated prostate-specific antigen levels, according to researchers.

MRI-invisible prostate lesions. It sounds like the stuff of science fiction and fantasy, a creation from the minds of H.G. Wells, who wrote The Invisible Man, or J.K. Rowling, who authored the Harry ...

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 ...

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 ...

September is National Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, an important time to bring awareness to prostate health. The prostate gland is a male reproductive organ about the size of a ping-pong ball that ...

The NICE guideline on prostate cancer recommends that a multiparametric MRI test should be offered to people with suspected clinically localised prostate cancer. People with a significant lesion ...

High rates of overdiagnosis are a critical barrier to organized prostate cancer screening. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with targeted biopsy has shown the potential to address this challenge, but ...

In a randomized trial of men with a single suspicious lesion on MRI, targeted perilesional biopsy matched standard targeted and systematic biopsy for detecting clinically significant prostate cancer - ...

A quicker, cheaper MRI scan was just as accurate at diagnosing prostate cancer as the current 30-40 minute scan and should be rolled out to make MRI scans more accessible to men who need one, ...
