Microultrasonography Rivals MRI in Prostate Cancer Detection

For timely diagnosis, it is important for patients to undergo an annual check-up at the urologist, supplemented by an ultrasound examination of the prostate and blood dosing of the prostate-specific antigen — the so-called PSA test. Depending on the results, the urologist may recommend advanced imaging investigations, the most important of which is the multiparametric MRI examination of the prostate. The diagnosis of certainty is established by …

Microultrasonography Rivals MRI in Prostate Cancer Detection

TOPLINE: High-resolution microultrasonography-guided biopsy was non-inferior to MRI fusion-guided biopsy for detecting clinically significant prostate cancer (detection rates, 47.1% and 42.6%, respectively), a new trial showed. METHODOLOGY: This multicentre, open-label, randomised, non-inferiority trial across eight countries, conducted from 2021 to 2024, included biopsy-naive adult men with clinical suspicion of prostate cancer due to elevated …

Micro-ultrasound to speed up prostate cancer diagnosis

To diagnose prostate cancer, an MRI-guided biopsy is often performed. Now, a study shows that micro-ultrasound is just as effective, cheaper and easier to use. This could help free up MRI capacities.

Prostate adenoma is treated with inert particles without surgery. We see the prostate as a risk organ. We see how to treat without surgery the most common benign tumor, prostate adenoma.

New procedure tested. Linz experts are involved in international investigation. Second study proves better surgical results with new procedure. Congress in Madrid.
