A scan that makes prostate cancer cells “glow” could halve the number of men needing invasive biopsies, research suggests.

An imaging test could safely halve the number of people who need a biopsy for suspected prostate cancer following ...

We’re prostate cancer experts. Here are the benefits of quick and targeted MRI scans - Urologists, radiologists and pathologists from Europe and the US agreed an “expert consensus statement” on prosta ...

Angus Chen covers all issues broadly related to cancer including drugs, policy, science, and equity. He joined STAT in 2021 after covering health and science at NPR and NPR affiliate stations. His ...

There is both good news and bad news about prostate cancer screening. First, the bad news: the blood test involved, which measures a compound called prostate-specific antigen (PSA), is too inaccurate.

A quicker, cheaper MRI scan was just as accurate at diagnosing prostate cancer as the current 30-40 minute scan and should be rolled out to make MRI scans more accessible to men who need one, ...

The top five submissions were combined into a super-algorithm for analyzing MRI scans for prostate cancer. Finally, AI assessments were compared to those of a group of radiologists on four hundred ...

The 2026 European Association of Urology (EAU) annual meeting featured a late-breaking abstracts session and a presentation by Dr. Laurence Klotz discussing initial perioperative outcomes of CAPTAIN, ...

A large screening trial showed that using prostate-specific antigen density (PSAD) before MRI prevented overdiagnosis and lowered resource use while preserving the detection of clinically significant ...

Prostate MRI currently lacks the accuracy to replace biopsies in active surveillance for prostate cancer. The negative predictive value of MRI remains below 90%, the general goal for safely avoiding ...

Researchers and clinicians from six leading medical centers and academic institutions—including the University of California San Diego—have collaborated to develop a new artificial intelligence model ...

An advantage of whole-body MRIs over CTs is that they use magnets and radio waves, which eliminate the type of radiation linked to cancer. But that doesn’t mean they’re risk-free or the right choice ...
