Colonoscopies decreased by 45% in 2020 compared with averages in 2018 through 2019; 29% decrease seen in prostate biopsies
Risk for High-Grade Prostate Cancer Is Low Following Negative MRI, Biopsy
In a study, no patient was diagnosed with high-grade prostate cancer within 3 years following a negative prostate MRI and negative systematic prostate biopsy.
MRI Results Might Permit Sparing of the Transitional Zone During Prostate Biopsy
Compared with peripheral zone prostate cancers, transitional zone cancers are less prevalent and tend to have more favorable pathological characteristics.
Promising Developments That May Improve Lupus Nephritis Management
