New AI tool from UC San Diego and collaborators precisely maps the urethra on MRI to make prostate cancer radiation safer and reduce urinary side effects. Running on SDSC’s Expanse supercomputer, the ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

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, ...

In a cohort of US veterans with prostate cancer who were on active surveillance, negative multiparametric MRI had a 75% negative predictive value for ruling out disease of grade group 2 or higher at ...

Data on the efficacy and safety of screening for prostate cancer with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are needed from studies of follow-up screening. In a population-based trial that started in 2015, ...

AI-driven MRI analysis offers new insights into prostate cancer prognosis, accurately predicting metastasis risk and treatment outcomes for improved patient care. Study: AI-derived Tumor Volume from ...

After a comprehensive two-year follow-up, researchers found that MRI-guided stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for prostate cancer significantly reduced long-term side effects and improved quality ...
