Hashim U. Ahmed,Hashim U. Ahmed,Ahmed El-Shater Bosaily,Ahmed El-Shater Bosaily,Louise Brown,Rhian Gabe,Richard Kaplan,Mahesh K.B. Parmar,Yolanda Collaco-Moraes,Katie Ward,Richard Hindley,Alex Freeman,Alex Kirkham,Robert Oldroyd,Chris Parker,Mark Emberton,Mark Emberton +16 more
TL;DR: Using MP-MRI to triage men might allow 27% of patients avoid a primary biopsy and diagnosis of 5% fewer clinically insignificant cancers, as well as reduce unnecessary biopsies by a quarter.

TL;DR: The use of risk assessment with MRI before biopsy and MRI‐targeted biopsy was superior to standard transrectal ultrasonography–guided biopsy in men at clinical risk for prostate cancer who had not undergone biopsy previously.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transperineal magnetic resonance image targeted prostate biopsy versus transperineal template prostate biopsy in the detection of clinically significant prostate cancer.
Veeru Kasivisvanathan,Robert Dufour,Caroline M. Moore,Hashim U. Ahmed,Mohamed Abd-Alazeez,Susan C. Charman,Alex Freeman,Clare Allen,Alex Kirkham,Jan van der Meulen,Mark Emberton,Mark Emberton +11 more
TL;DR: Prostate biopsy targeted to suspicious lesions on multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging has encouraging rates of detection of clinically significant cancer while also decreasing the detection rate of clinically insignificant cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
A prospective study of 100 cases of penile cancer managed according to European Association of Urology guidelines.
TL;DR: To prospectively assess the outcome of patients treated according to the European Association of Urology guidelines on the management of penile cancer, a system originally based on retrospective series is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Immediate Insertion of a Penile Prosthesis for Acute Ischaemic Priapism
David Ralph,Giulio Garaffa,A. Muneer,Alex Freeman,Rowland W. Rees,Andrew N. Christopher,Sukbinder Minhas +6 more
TL;DR: The immediate insertion of a penile prosthesis for acute refractory ischaemic priapism is a simple and successful procedure that treats the acute episode as well as the inevitable erectile dysfunction that will occur with preservation of penile length.
