A Yale-led study examines the potential environmental benefits of more carefully selecting patients for prostate biopsy in a way that can also spare low-yield and potentially harmful procedures. Yale ...
New evidence compares micro-ultrasound and MRI fusion biopsy for detecting clinically significant prostate cancer. Find out ...
For prostate biopsy planning, multiparametric MRI has relatively low specificity particularly for PI-RADS 3 and PI-RADS 4 ...
Screening for prostate cancer is burdened by a high rate of overdiagnosis. The most appropriate algorithm for population-based screening is unknown. We invited 37,887 men who were 50 to 60 years of ...
MRI of the prostate, combined with a blood test, can help determine if a prostate lesion is clinically significant cancer, new research suggests. A new meta-analysis by investigators from Brigham and ...
The MRI-based prostate biopsy risk stratification tools with the greatest accuracy were the RPCRC-MRI and PLUM models Among MRI-based risk calculators for prostate biopsy, 2 models provide more ...
Omitting systematic biopsy in men with elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels and negative MRI results, and performing only targeted biopsy of MRI-positive lesions, eliminated more than half ...
A prostate biopsy checks for prostate cancer by extracting tissue samples. A transperineal biopsy has a lower infection risk than a transrectal biopsy. Biopsy results are usually ready within about ...
