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 ...

AI detects prostate cancer more often than radiologists. Additionally, AI triggers false alarms half as often. This is shown by an international study coordinated by Radboud university medical center ...

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

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 ...

Researchers in the UK have demonstrated a new kind of ultrasound scan can diagnose prostate cancer with accuracy equal to costly and time-consuming magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The findings offer ...

MRI-invisible prostate lesions. It sounds like the stuff of science fiction and fantasy, a creation from the minds of H.G. Wells, who wrote The Invisible Man, or J.K. Rowling, who authored the Harry ...

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 prostate biopsy checks for prostate cancer by extracting tissue samples. A transperineal biopsy has a lower infection risk than a transrectal biopsy. Biopsy results are usually ready within about ...

Alexandros Washburn, here with son Ali, received a novel prostate cancer treatment using very high doses of radiation guided by MRI. “This is an extraordinary tool — and in the hands of an ...
