Combining MRI-guided biopsy of the prostate with conventional ultrasound-guided 12-core prostate biopsy was superior to either technique alone at ruling out more aggressive cancers, and beat ...
Compared with systematic biopsy, MRI-directed targeted biopsy reduces the risk of overdiagnosis of prostate cancer for men with elevated prostate-specific antigen levels, according to researchers.
Microultrasonography for prostate biopsy detected clinically significant cancer at rates comparable to MRI-guided approaches. Detection rates for clinically insignificant cancers did not differ among ...
