What if the biopsy you were told was MRI-guided wasn't really MRI-guided at all? Fusion technology merges an earlier MRI scan with real-time ultrasound, and the handoff is imperfect. New research adds a fresh concern: as prostate volume grows, detection of clinically significant cancer drops, no matter how carefully the target was chosen. keep reading

Experts outline a 10-step process that enhances the accuracy of focal therapy for prostate cancer, using detailed MRI imaging, calculated safety margins, and thoughtful selection of treatment methods. The framework aims to maximize tumor control while minimizing side effects. keep reading

Prostate cancer is the most common nonskin cancer in men, yet many don’t know the key facts that shape detection and treatment. From risks to survival rates, here are 10 essential insights every patient should understand. keep reading

When it comes to prostate cancer, risk assessment has to be “just right.” New research shows that combining PSA density with MRI scoring (PI-RADS) makes predictions far more accurate, reducing unnecessary biopsies while ensuring dangerous cancers aren’t missed. keep reading

How times and technology change! Take, for example, the shift from a tangible book like the Yellow Pages to a digital one. At one time, paper copies of the Yellow Pages business directory were delivered to virtually every household in America. This hefty local book was the ultimate resource for finding a business or service keep reading

It’s not exactly the ultimate “American Dream” but it’s great news for clarifying a suspicious PSA test result. As we know, the PSA blood test is controversial as a screening tool for prostate cancer (PCa) because an unexpectedly high result can mean any number of things, not just PCa. And yet, on the chance that keep reading

One of the traits of highly successful people is their ability to stay grounded in the present moment yet anticipate the future. Although no one can predict the future with 100% accuracy, knowing the odds are favorable is a definite advantage. For prostate cancer patients, the most common treatment recommendation is radical robotic prostatectomy (RRP). In fact... 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

MRI is replacing outdated prostate cancer detection methods, offering better accuracy and fewer unnecessary biopsies. Learn how this advanced screening tool is transforming patient care and reducing the risks associated with traditional PSA and biopsy pathways. keep reading

When you think of turning points in history, what comes to mind? The fall of the Berlin Wall? Einstein’s theory of relativity? The women suffragettes? Toppled regimes, scientific discoveries, and allowing women to vote dramatically alter the course of human events. Sometimes, however, the wheel of change is not obvious. You might be in the keep reading
