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 ...

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 ...

Millions of men could benefit from a new, faster prostate cancer scan. The quicker, cheaper MRI scan was just as accurate at diagnosing prostate cancer in clinical trials as the current 30- to ...

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.

One radiation oncologist describes the advantages of MRI-guided SBRT when treating patients with prostate cancer. “Prostate cancer is very curable with radiation,” radiation oncologist Dr. Matthew ...

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 ...

Men should be offered quick MRI scans lasting under 15 minutes to detect prostate cancer earlier, under new recommendations from international experts. Specialists say quick, targeted MRI scans could ...

International experts have recommended quick and targeted MRI scans for prostate cancer screening. Some 21 urologists, radiologists and pathologists from Europe and the US agreed an "expert consensus ...

There are several strategies for the early detection of prostate cancer. The first step is often a blood test for prostate-specific antigen (PSA). If PSA levels exceed a certain threshold, the next ...

Fluorine-18 prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-1007 PET/CT was superior to multiparametric MRI for primary locoregional staging of prostate cancer, according to results from a phase II ...

AI detects prostate cancer more often than radiologists. Additionally, AI triggers false alarms half as often. This is shown by an international study coordinated by Radboud university medical center ...
