Daniel W. Lin, MD, reviews new guidance on using MRI, biomarkers, and more, to improve the detection of prostate cancer.
Employing MRI-targeted biopsy instead of systematic biopsy reduces overdiagnosis of low-grade prostate cancer by more than half, although diagnoses may be delayed among a small minority of patients ...
Researchers from around the U.K., led by the University of Oxford, have found that a new way of performing prostate biopsies is better at diagnosing prostate cancer, but takes longer to perform and is ...
Although sextant biopsy is inadequate and the current reference standard involves a minimum of 12 cores, there is a point of diminishing returns regarding the numbers of cores. We published findings ...
A large analysis suggests that a multivariable risk assessment tool, called Stockholm3, can detect substantially more ...
To evaluate the cancer detection rate (CDR), tolerability, and safety of transperineal prostate biopsy (TPPB) performed under local anesthesia (LA) without antibiotic prophylaxis in an outpatient ...
Micro-ultrasound–guided biopsies were found for the first time to be “noninferior” to MRI-guided procedures, according to new research presented at the 2025 annual congress of the European Association ...
Extracellular vesicles shed by prostate cancer cells to the bloodstream contain tumor-derived material that can be used as biomarkers of therapy response and resistance in patients with metastatic ...
A prostate biopsy is a procedure to remove small samples of tissue from the prostate gland. It's a method to test for prostate cancer if a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test or digital rectal ...
A multi-institutional clinical trial showed that a newer technique for collecting prostate biopsy samples reduced the risk of infection compared with traditional biopsy approaches. A ...
