New evidence compares micro-ultrasound and MRI fusion biopsy for detecting clinically significant prostate cancer. Find out ...

Combining MRI-guided biopsy of the prostate with conventional ultrasound-guided 12-core prostate biopsy was superior to either technique alone at ruling out more aggressive cancers, and beat ...

The report suggests that high-resolution micro-ultrasound could help identify clinically significant lesions that would be missed with conventional MRI. High-resolution micro-ultrasound (micro-US) ...

One in eight men will develop prostate cancer in their lifetime. Surgery to treat the disease can lead to unwelcome side effects. A minimally invasive alternative that avoids surgery is now available ...

A transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) of the prostate may also be called a prostate sonogram or endorectal ultrasound. A doctor usually performs a TRUS to help diagnose prostate cancer or detect prostate ...

University Hospital in Newark — which is also the principal teaching hospital for Rutgers New Jersey Medical School — added the transperineal prostate biopsy procedure to its cancer-detection arsenal.

A new study showed that men treated with ultrasound experienced a 92% decrease in average prostate size within a year, and a healthy decrease in PSA levels at five years. Photo by Adobe ...

Transrectal ultrasound guided (TRUS) biopsy has been the gold standard for prostate cancer diagnosis, but carries a significant risk of urinary tract infection, sometimes requiring hospital admission ...

If the Crossfire debate at the American Urological Association (AUA) virtual annual meeting is any indication, advocates for transperineal (TP) biopsies face an uphill battle in persuading U.S.

In a biopsy, a small sample of tissue is taken from your body. A pathologist analyzes the sample to check for cancer cells. The main method for diagnosing prostate cancer is a core needle biopsy. It’s ...

Wright et al conducted a 12-core biopsy study evaluating the location of unique prostate carcinoma. 35 The most common site of isolated disease was the anterior apex, where 17% of cancers would have ...
