Can a prostate infection cause cancer? Can bladder cancer spread to the lungs? Does thickening of the bladder wall indicate cancer? Can bladder cancer cause high PSA? Are UTIs a sign of bladder cancer? Can bladder cancer cause weight gain?
human papillomavirus (HPV) infection of mucosal tissue may lead to head and neck, cervical, penile, anal and vaginal cancers [107]; hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection may induce hepatocellular carcinoma development [108]; Epstein‒Barr virus (EBV) drives nasopharyngeal carcinoma [109]; Kaposi’...
Some pathogenic microorganisms and viruses are able to initiate tumor growth. For example, human papillomavirus (HPV) infection of mucosal tissue may lead to head and neck, cervical, penile, anal and vaginal cancers [107]; hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection may induce hepatocellular carcinoma develo...
The hand-crafted radiomics method can provide a set of high-throughput features. Specifically, prostate lesions are first manually delineated in MR images. Then the features including shape, histogram, and textural features are extracted from the delineated lesions in the original MR images and their...
Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening of healthy men for the diagnosis of early prostate cancer (PCa) is an ongoing controversy because of the risk of overtreatment. Results from the ERSPC study, a randomised trial, showed that PSA screening in healthy men between 50 and 69 years of age,...
Prostate cancer: why there's no UK screening programme Prostate specific antigen (PSA) is a molecule made by the prostate and detected in blood samples. A man's PSA level can be raised for many reasons, including an enlarged prostate, infection andprostate cancer. ...

over-diagnosis and the associated over-treatment.7–9 In addition, TRUS-guided prostate biopsy is an invasive procedure that can cause hematuria, hematochezia, urinary tract infection, and bacteremia.10–12 Consequently, a more reliable biomarker is needed to supplement PSA for the diagnosis of ...
Widespread use of PSA screening has increased detection rates of prostate cancer. However, there is a great disparity between the incidence and mortality of prostate cancer. This fact is due to the detection of low-risk prostate cancers which is a very indolent disease with a limited impact on...
Sensitive detection remains one of the biggest hurdles for clinical diagnosis at the onset of infection. The bottleneck is the limited amount of detectable analytes in a very limited volume of sample. One strategy is to amplify the signal, then convert it into quantitative measurements such as ele...
