Pre-biopsy MRIs can help doctors diagnose and treat prostate cancer more accurately. Here’s when you should get one.

Upon reviewing repeated prostate cancer screenings, researchers observed the absence of suspicious MRI findings in over 86% of men who had prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels of 3 ng/mL or higher ...

Excluding systematic biopsy in favor of MRI-targeted biopsy in men with elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels reduced the probability of detecting clinically insignificant cancers, but at ...

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 ...

A team of researchers in Australia and New Zealand has found that MRI scans can detect prostate cancer more accurately than the newer, prostate-specific -PSMA PET/CT scanning technique. The findings ...

Prostate cancer screening can be improved by using a combination of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and a novel blood test, according to a new study. The scientists who published the new study on ...

A single round of prostate cancer screening that included a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test, a kallikrein panel, and an MRI detected one additional high-grade cancer per 196 men and one low-grade ...

Nearly 67% of men with MRI-detected lesions and more than half of those with clinically significant prostate cancer had a PSA level less than 3 ng/mL, investigators reported. Using magnetic resonance ...

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 ...
