Hyperpolarised [1-13C]pyruvate MRI (HP-13C-MRI) is an emerging non-ionising metabolic imaging technique to probe tumour metabolism1. The method offers several advantages over routine [18F]2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose ([18F]FDG) positron emission tomography (PET), including discrimination of the...

has been shown to be non-inferior to multi-parametric MRI for PCa detection and for reducing the incidence of false-positive results, the study protocol has been amended to use bi-parametric MRI starting with the 2nd screening round. In the analysis of the 1st round of screening in this ...
MRI-Guided Radiation a 'Very Important' Advancement in Prostate Cancer Treatment Alex Biese June 11th 2024 As part of the “Speaking Out” series, a radiation oncologist discusses the benefits of MRI-guided stereotactic body radiation therapy. ...
Results For the 3 PSA strata of 2.5 ng/mL or greater, the MRI and potential MRI-guided biopsy strategy was cost-effective compared with standard biopsy (PSA 2.5-4.0 ng/mL: base-case ICER, $21 131/QALY; PSA 4.1-10.0 ng/mL: base-case ICER, $12 336/QALY; PSA >10.0 ng/mL: ba...
screening indicates elevated PSA levels or other concerns, DPC providers work closely with patients to design a care plan that addresses the unique aspects of their condition, whether it involves prostate biopsies, further diagnostic tests like an MRI, or discussions on prostate cancer treatment ...
(1) Should we consider systematic biopsy if mpMRI is not suspicious? (2) Are there additional predictive factors that can help decide which patient should have a biopsy? (3) Can the low visibility of some cancers be explained and what are the implications? Sources A narrative review was ...
The first day I had blood tests and an ultrasound which confirmed my MRI results and then after consultation with Dr Song and other staff, I began my treatment. The daily atmosphere at the clinic was friendly, relaxed and welcoming and it was great to share with other men who were there ...
