The lower infection rate is particularly remarkable because the men in the transrectal biopsy group received a targeted course of antibiotics designed to help reduce their infection risk, and the men ...

A multicenter randomized trial compared transperineal prostate biopsy without antibiotic prophylaxis versus transrectal biopsy with targeted prophylaxis, examining infections, prostate cancer ...

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 ...

A multi-institutional clinical trial showed that a newer technique for collecting prostate biopsy samples reduced the risk of infection compared with traditional biopsy approaches. A ...

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 ...

Baseline MRI PI-RADS score suggests prognosis and may improve upfront risk stratification and eligibility for prostate cancer active surveillance. Higher baseline MRI PI-RADS score is associated with ...

Editor's note: An earlier version of this article misidentified a source in the story. He is Jim Hu, MD, not James Hu, MD. Researchers have concluded that transperineal prostate (TP) biopsies should ...

Investigators conclude that transperineal biopsy should be the standard of care for prostate biopsy. Prostate biopsy using a transperineal approach has a cancer detection rate similar to that of a ...
