The integration of a compatible MRI scanner with a linear accelerator (linac) device has successfully led to an MR-linear accelerator (MR-Linac), which had been introduced in clinical practice, ...

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 ...

Finding is based on a meta-analysis of 14 high-quality studies involving 19,365 patients. Index prostate tumors located in the transition zone vs peripheral zone have a lower risk of biochemical ...

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 ...

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

A recent Radiology journal study assesses the power of a fully automated deep learning (DL) model to produce deterministic outputs for identifying clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa). Study ...

High-resolution microultrasonography-guided biopsy was non-inferior to MRI fusion-guided biopsy for detecting clinically significant prostate cancer (detection rates, 47.1% and 42.6%, respectively), a ...

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 ...

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, ...

One radiation oncologist describes the advantages of MRI-guided SBRT when treating patients with prostate cancer. “Prostate cancer is very curable with radiation,” radiation oncologist Dr. Matthew ...
