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 ...

In a cohort of US veterans with prostate cancer who were on active surveillance, negative multiparametric MRI had a 75% negative predictive value for ruling out disease of grade group 2 or higher at ...

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

Data on the efficacy and safety of screening for prostate cancer with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are needed from studies of follow-up screening. In a population-based trial that started in 2015, ...

A recent BMJ Oncology study screens the prevalence of prostate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) lesions in men based on age rather than prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels. Study: Prevalence of MRI ...

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 deep learning model was as effective as radiologists in detecting clinically significant prostate cancer on multiparametric MRI, a retrospective study suggested. In an internal test set of 400 ...

As part of the “Speaking Out” series, a radiation oncologist discusses the benefits of MRI-guided stereotactic body radiation therapy. Dr. Matthew Solhjem, a radiation oncologist with Providence ...
