The reasons for this significant decrease are most likely associated with the application of urological screening tests. The main tools for ...
A prostate exam is a test that checks for early signs of prostate cancer. It doesn't reveal cancer, but if the test shows an abnormal result, your doctor will likely need to take a small sample of tissue from your prostate gland (biopsy) for further testing. There are two parts to a...
Prostate Biopsy:Biopsy is usually performed when there is a high suspicion of prostate cancer (elevated PSA, mass on DRE, positive PCA-3). It is a 15-minute procedure, done under ultrasound guidance. The prostate is numbed using Lidocaine. You should not feel anything after we numb the pros...
Prostate biopsy is the gold standard procedure for pre-operatively estimating Gleason Score (GS) and cancer volume (CV), which are two important surrogate markers for prostate cancer aggressiveness. Currently, biopsy estimates GS based on architectural patterns of the sampled tissue at the microscopic...
Prostate biopsy is the current gold-standard procedure for prostate cancer diagnosis. Existing prostate biopsy procedures have been mostly focusing on detecting cancer presence. However, they often ignore the potential use of biopsy to estimate cancer volume (CV) and Gleason Score (GS, a cancer grad...
Many people with prostates have cancer cells in their prostate that never grow into a tumor or spread. If your pathologist finds cancer cells in your biopsy, they will use the Gleason Grading System to grade the cancer cells based on how much like healthy cells they look. On your pathology...

Before doing a radical prostatectomy, doctors first try to confirm that the prostate cancer has not spread beyond the prostate. They can figure out the statistical risk of spread by looking at tables comparing the results of a biopsy and PSA levels. ...
