Detecting prostate cancer early makes nearly 100% treatment success possible, often with fewer side effects. Routine PSA screening and modern imaging tools help identify cancer while it's still most curable. Skipping annual tests risks missing the critical window for best outcomes. keep reading

After focal therapy for prostate cancer, annual PSA testing and mpMRI scans work together to spot new cancer activity. This approach offers a balance of cancer control and quality of life, keeping future treatment options open for patients and their doctors. keep reading

Artificial Intelligence is reshaping prostate cancer care, from more accurate screening and early detection to optimizing treatment strategies. New research highlights four major clinical areas where AI is already making a measurable difference in diagnosis, risk assessment, and therapy planning. keep reading

Researchers are questioning if PSMA-PET scans, usually reserved for advanced prostate cancer, might offer added value when used alongside mpMRI earlier in diagnosis. Studies suggest a combined approach could improve detection, but questions remain about cost, accuracy, and future role. keep reading

Recent studies reveal the digital rectal exam may not improve early prostate cancer detection compared to PSA testing. As experts question its usefulness, advanced tools like multiparametric MRI are shaping modern screening guidelines. keep reading

New research asks if healthy lifestyle choices—like diet, supplements, and exercise—can slow the growth of low-risk prostate cancer during active surveillance. While results remain inconclusive, promising signs exist, and minimally invasive focal therapy is emerging as an alternative option. keep reading

Multiparametric MRI uses advanced imaging sequences to identify suspicious prostate tissue, clarify abnormal PSA results, and help avoid unnecessary biopsies. This noninvasive approach is changing the standard for early and accurate prostate cancer diagnosis. 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
