Objectives: What should be done when a first set of prostate biopsies was negative is still a matter of debate.Methods: Literature on prostate re-biopsy was reviewed and a selection of articles made. Keywords used for the Medline search included: Prostate cancer, Biopsy, Diagnosis.Results: ...
Prostate cancer, unlike other cancers, has been sampled in a non-targeted, systematic manner in the past three decades. On account of the low volume of prostate sampled despite the multiple cores acquired, systematic transrectal (TRUS) biopsy suffered from low sensitivity in picking up clinically ...

The tests detect traces of disease in a patient’s blood. Here’s how they’re used—and why scientists hope they’re the future of cancer screening.
A new diagnostic imaging tool in PET/computed tomography (CT) is the use of radiolabeled fibroblast activation protein inhibitor (FAPI). SGHI uses high-frequency sound waves to penetrate deeper into the tissue, providing a more detailed view of the tumor microenvironment. Artificial intelligence ...
Prostate cancer is differentiated from the above conditions by identifying cancer cells in a biopsy of the prostate. Who Is at Risk of Prostate Cancer? Aging in men (beginning at age 50) is the greatest risk factor for both BPH and prostate cancer. In addition, having a father or brother ...
