Urologists, radiologists and pathologists from Europe and the US agreed an “expert consensus statement” on prostate cancer treatment and diagnosis ...
A scan that makes prostate cancer cells “glow” could halve the number of men needing invasive biopsies, research suggests.
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 ...
The median fraction of the gland reaching ablative temperatures on intra-procedural MRI thermometry was 78% (IQR 71-85), with 68% of cases comprising whole gland ablation and 32% sub-total ablation: ...
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 ...
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 ...
Nearly 67% of men with MRI-detected lesions and more than half of those with clinically significant prostate cancer had a PSA level less than 3 ng/mL, investigators reported. Using magnetic resonance ...
There is both good news and bad news about prostate cancer screening. First, the bad news: the blood test involved, which measures a compound called prostate-specific antigen (PSA), is too inaccurate.
Using MRI scans in screening for prostate cancer could detect tumours missed by prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood testing alone, according to a major new study from University College London (UCL) ...
Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers affecting men around the world. It develops in the prostate, a small gland ...
