A nationwide survey of prostate MRI practices in the UK revealed the universal adoption of pre-biopsy MRI across all NHS trusts, with 73.1% using multiparametric MRI protocols. However, significant ...

Biparametric MRI, which omits dynamic contrast-enhanced sequences, similarly detected clinically significant prostate cancer to multiparametric MRI. Biparametric MRI was also noninferior to ...

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 ...

MRI preparation depends on the type of scan, the area of your body being scanned, and whether the scan requires contrast dye. It’s important to discuss prep with your doctor beforehand. In rare, ...

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 ...

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, ...

The study protocol was approved by the institutional review board of Hokkaido University Hospital, and patient consent was not deemed necessary because data were obtained from medical charts and ...

An artificial intelligence system slightly outperformed radiologists using PI-RADS at detecting clinically significant prostate cancer. A trained artificial intelligence (AI) system discriminated ...

Abbreviated biparametric MRI was noninferior to full multiparametric MRI in detecting clinically significant prostate cancer in the prospective PRIME study, suggesting that it could become the new ...
