A UK-led international study has identified steps that can be taken to improve the quality of MRI scans for prostate cancer screening. Research, published in Radiology, found "relatively simple and ...
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 ...
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 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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Full-body MRIs are all the rage. We take a look at three major companies offering such testing.

Disparities in use of MRI to detect prostate cancer: Race and location may influence testing
Prostate cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer deaths in American men. Further, non-Hispanic Blacks have a higher incidence of prostate cancer and are more likely to die from it than are ...
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 ...
