Pre-biopsy MRIs can help doctors diagnose and treat prostate cancer more accurately. Here’s when you should get one.

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 ...

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, ...

Millions of men could benefit from a new, faster prostate cancer scan. The quicker, cheaper MRI scan was just as accurate at diagnosing prostate cancer in clinical trials as the current 30- to ...

A large screening trial showed that using prostate-specific antigen density (PSAD) before MRI prevented overdiagnosis and lowered resource use while preserving the detection of clinically significant ...

Baseline MRI PI-RADS score suggests prognosis and may improve upfront risk stratification and eligibility for prostate cancer active surveillance. Higher baseline MRI PI-RADS score is associated with ...

Prostate MRI currently lacks the accuracy to replace biopsies in active surveillance for prostate cancer. The negative predictive value of MRI remains below 90%, the general goal for safely avoiding ...

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 ...

The first OnQ Prostate-assisted Focal One® Robotic HIFU procedure was successfully performed at UCSF, improving prostate cancer treatment precision. Cortechs.ai and EDAP TMS have announced the ...
