The oncologic risk of magnetic resonance imaging‐targeted and systematic cores in patients treated with radical prostatectomy

Abstract Background Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-targeted prostate biopsy (MRI-biopsy) detects high-Grade Group (GG) prostate cancers not identified by systematic biopsy (S-biopsy). However, questions have been raised whether cancers detected by MRI-biopsy and S-biopsy, grade-for-grade, are of equivalent oncologic risk. The authors evaluated the relative oncologic risk of GG diagnosed by S-biopsy and MRI-biopsy. Methods This… Continue reading The oncologic risk of magnetic resonance imaging‐targeted and systematic cores in patients treated with radical prostatectomy

The oncologic risk of magnetic resonance imaging‐targeted and systematic cores in patients treated with radical prostatectomy

MRI-biopsy detects high-Grade Group (GG) prostate cancers not identified by systematic biopsy . The authors evaluated relative oncologic risk of cancers diagnosed by MRI and S-Biopsy in a retrospective analysis of patients at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center . If grade was discordant between biopsies, then the risk was intermediate between grades. For example, the… Continue reading The oncologic risk of magnetic resonance imaging‐targeted and systematic cores in patients treated with radical prostatectomy

Scientists discover potential biomarkers linked to metastatic prostate cancer in Black men

Scientists at City of Hope, one of the largest cancer research and treatment organizations in the United States and a leading research center for diabetes and other life-threatening illnesses, have identified a cell metabolism process found in men with diabetes and metastatic prostate cancer that could one day lead to improved testing and treatments for… Continue reading Scientists discover potential biomarkers linked to metastatic prostate cancer in Black men

Research into use of diabetes medication for treatment of metastatic prostate cancer

Patients with localized prostate cancer have a good chance of survival, but mortality rates among those with advanced, metastatic forms of the condition remain high . Until now, the precise mechanism behind the spread of tumor has not been fully explained . But an international research team has succeeded in decoding the underlying cellular signal… Continue reading Research into use of diabetes medication for treatment of metastatic prostate cancer
