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 ...

Urologists, radiologists and pathologists from Europe and the US agreed an “expert consensus statement” on prostate cancer ...

As a result, researchers have explored less invasive options that aim to treat the cancer while preserving quality of life. One such approach is TULSA, which uses real-time MRI guidance to deliver ...

When MRI offered no clear answer in suspected prostate cancer, the use of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-PET/CT showed promise for reducing the number of biopsies without compromising the ...

Prostate zonal anatomy is best demonstrated with MRI. On T2-weighted sequences, the normal prostate can be divided into the peripheral zone, which shows high signal intensity owing to its high water ...

An imaging test could safely halve the number of people who need a biopsy for suspected prostate cancer following ...

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 ...

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, ...
