Comparison of MR/Ultrasound Fusion–Guided Biopsy With Ultrasound-Guided Biopsy for the Diagnosis of Prostate Cancer

TL;DR: Among men undergoing biopsy for suspected prostate cancer, targeted MR/ultrasound fusionBiopsy, compared with standard extended-sextant ultrasound-guided biopsy, was associated with increased detection of high-risk prostate cancer and decreased detection of low- risk prostate cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Image-guided prostate biopsy using magnetic resonance imaging-derived targets: a systematic review.

TL;DR: MRI-guided biopsy detects clinically significant prostate cancer in an equivalent number of men versus standard biopsy using fewer biopsies in fewer men, with a reduction in the diagnosis of clinically insignificant cancer.

Cancer Statistics, 2009

TL;DR: The most recent data on cancer incidence, mortality, and survival from the American Cancer Society (ACS) is presented in this paper, where the authors compare the three major cancer sites in men (lung, prostate, and colon and rectum [colorectum]) and in two major cancers sites in women (breast and colorectal) over a 15-year period.

Systematic 5 Region Prostate Biopsy is Superior to Sextant Method for Diagnosing Carcinoma of the Prostate

TL;DR: A prospective study finds the 5 region technique of prostate biopsy to be safe, efficacious and superior to the sextant method of biopsy in identifying prostate cancer at an early but significant stage.
Journal ArticleDOI

A comparative analysis of sextant and an extended 11-core multisite directed biopsy strategy

TL;DR: Biopsies of the alternate sites suggested by the simulation studies are feasible and reproducible and significantly enhanced prostate cancer detection compared to conventional sextant biopsies in men undergoing a repeat procedure.

Prostate cancer: value of multiparametric MR imaging at 3 T for detection--histopathologic correlation.

TL;DR: Multiparametric MR imaging of the prostate at 3 T enables tumor detection, with reasonable sensitivity and specificity values, and Generalized estimating equations (GEEs) provided significant independent and additive predictive value when GEEs were used.

Role of magnetic resonance imaging before initial biopsy: comparison of magnetic resonance imaging-targeted and systematic biopsy for significant prostate cancer detection.

TL;DR: Study Type – Diagnostic (exploratory cohort) and follow-up studies to explore the role of EMT in the development of central nervous system disease and its role in Parkinson's disease.
