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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

October 16, 2009 — Clinicians should consider magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for men who have elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels or some other "worrisome" prostate cancer variable, but ...

Findings address a gap of knowledge highlighted in current guidelines on the use of MRI in the diagnosis and management of prostate cancer. (HealthDay News) — Men with negative multiparametric ...

Angus Chen covers all issues broadly related to cancer including drugs, policy, science, and equity. He joined STAT in 2021 after covering health and science at NPR and NPR affiliate stations. His ...

An artificial intelligence system slightly outperformed radiologists using PI-RADS at detecting clinically significant prostate cancer. A trained artificial intelligence (AI) system discriminated ...

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 combined PSMA-PET/MRI scanner better detected clinically significant prostate cancer in men on active surveillance. The addition of piflufolastat F18 (18 F-DCFPyL) prostate-specific membrane antigen ...

Targeting men in the top 10% of genetic risk helped detect high-grade prostate cancer that conventional screening would miss, paving the way for more personalized and effective early detection ...
