Upon reviewing repeated prostate cancer screenings, researchers observed the absence of suspicious MRI findings in over 86% of men who had prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels of 3 ng/mL or higher ...
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 scan that makes prostate cancer cells “glow” could halve the number of men needing invasive biopsies, research suggests.
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.
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 ...
Prostate cancer remains a significant concern in my practice, which is why I emphasize the importance of early detection. The American Cancer Society estimates there will be nearly 300,000 new cases ...
International experts have recommended quick and targeted MRI scans for prostate cancer screening. Some 21 urologists, radiologists and pathologists from Europe and the US agreed an "expert consensus ...
Australian scientists say it could also help reduce the risk of overdiagnosis by determining which cancers are low-risk and will never cause harm.
Prostate cancer kills more than 12,000 men a year in the UK, slightly more than the number of women who die from breast ...
