MRI and MRI-guided biopsies — a new Cochrane review

Diagnosis, Imaging / By / / 1 minute of reading

Cochrane reviews are structured, systematic, focused reviews of evidence in the field of medicine that either support or do not support specific forms of diagnosis and management of patients with or suspected of having particular disorders. A newly published Cochrane review by Drost et al. has addressed the topic of “Prostate MRI, with or without MRI‐targeted biopsy, and systematic biopsy for detecting prostate cancer“, and had just been published by the Cochrane Library.

Prostate MRI

Imaging / By / / 1 minute of reading

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the prostate may be used in many clinical scenarios, including primary screening, active surveillance, and in patients with a previous negative biopsy and rising PSA. Scott Eggener, MD, explains whether MRI is warranted in each of these situations and the benefits and challenges this technology presents. Read the article here.

New PET scan can detect prostate cancer earlier than MRIs and CT scans

Imaging / By / / 1 minute of reading

Loyola Medicine is the first center in the Midwest to offer the first effective PET/CT scan for prostate cancer patients. The scan can detect the location and extent of cancer that has recurred after initial treatment and spread to other parts of the body. Prostate PET/CT scans can detect cancer earlier than either CT scans alone or MRI scans. Read the article here.

Prostate Multiparametric MRI Feasible for PCa Screening

PSA Screening, Imaging / By / / 1 minute of reading

Robert K. Nam, MD, from the Sunnybrook Health Sciences Center in Toronto, and colleagues examined the feasibility of prostate MRI as the primary screening test for prostate cancer in a cohort of unselected men from the general population. All participants underwent prostate multiparametric MRI and random or targeted biopsies as well as prostate-specific antigen testing. Initial results showed that prostate MRI was better to predict prostate cancer than PSA. Read the article here.

Roswell Park-Led Study: Photoacoustic Imaging Is Promising Option for Noninvasive Monitoring of Prostate Cancer

Imaging / By / / 1 minute of reading

A team of scientists led by researchers from Roswell Park Cancer Institute in Buffalo have demonstrated that photoacoustic imaging (PAI) may be an effective tool for more accurately viewing and monitoring prostate cancer. Photoacoustic imaging of enabled good discrimination between cells with and without the cancer marker, PSMA. Read the article here.
