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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Dec. 15, 2025 — For decades, when tests suggested that a man might have prostate cancer, the next step was usually a biopsy. The procedure, where a doctor uses a thin needle to collect prostate ...

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 ...

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 ...

Nearly 67% of men with MRI-detected lesions and more than half of those with clinically significant prostate cancer had a PSA level less than 3 ng/mL, investigators reported. Using magnetic resonance ...

Despite technologic advances and guideline recommendations, prostate MRI still lacks the accuracy to replace biopsies in active surveillance, data on almost 2,000 patients suggested. MRI had a 75% ...
