Multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) has proven itself as a powerful tool in detecting significant prostate cancer. By accurately identifying suspicious areas and distinguishing aggressive tumors from those that pose less risk, mpMRI is helping reduce unnecessary biopsies and providing clearer, more reliable diagnostic information for better treatment decisions. keep reading

Researchers are advancing smarter prostate cancer screening methods. A new biomarker test, combined with advanced MRI techniques, could improve early detection of high-grade prostate cancers and reduce the need for unnecessary procedures, offering more accurate and reliable diagnosis. keep reading

There's a new approach to treating advanced cancers that sounds like a riddle, but it’s no joke. In fact, it’s a serious revolution in medicine that’s rapidly gaining traction. What do you get when you cross cancer therapeutics with diagnostics? Theranostics. keep reading

“Artificial intelligence systems can be trained to detect and grade cancer in prostate needle biopsy samples at a level comparable to experts.” So says a Urology Today report on the uses of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in diagnosing prostate cancer (PCa). An overview of progress in AI applications was presented by Dr. Peter Humphrey (Professor of keep reading

If you are diagnosed with prostate cancer (PCa) you’re not alone. You’ve joined a club you never wanted to be part of—and it’s a very large club indeed. In 2023, it’s estimated that over 288,000 men will receive a PCa diagnosis. While it may not be much consolation to know how many guys are in keep reading

In astronomy, news of a relatively rare alignment of heavenly bodies tends to generate excitement on planet earth. For example, over an 18-year period, only three or four total lunar eclipses will be visible from beginning to end (depending where you are and assuming the night is clear). I got excited over the convergence of keep reading

Uh oh. All is not well in the world of prostate biopsy. The majority of needle biopsies for suspected prostate cancer (PCa) are performed by urologists using transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) guidance. This has been the conventional approach used for decades, but over time... keep reading

To paraphrase a famous poem, “How can AI serve prostate cancer? Let me count the ways.” In some ways, clinical researchers and software engineers have established a solid foundation for applying Artificial Intelligence (AI) to the detection, diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of prostate cancer (PCa). On the other hand, given the oceanic potential, we’ve only keep reading

Experts say, turn to an expert when best results matter. If you have high standards when it comes to caring for valued objects and personal wellness, you won’t be content with do-it-yourself problem solving. Whether it’s about a possession as humble as a prized but malfunctioning power tool, or as lofty as a sub performing keep reading

If there were an accurate crystal ball, would you want to know your future? And if you knew something bad was going to happen, would you try to take steps to avoid it? The ancient Greek notion that you can’t escape your fate is illustrated by the tragic tale of King Oedipus, who was informed keep reading
