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.
Imaging
Prostate Cancer Observation Varies With MRI, Genomic Testing Availability
Increasing adoption of prostate MRI and genomic testing may reduce overtreatment of prostate cancer, according to investigators.
Study: 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET May Miss Pelvic Nodal Metastasis in Prostate Cancer
68Ga-PSMA-11 PET scans have a 40% sensitivity for detecting pelvic nodal metastasis in men with intermediate- or high-risk prostate cancer, data show.
Study: Chest Imaging After RCC Surgery Not Warranted
Investigators concluded that there is minimal to no clinical value in surveillance for pulmonary recurrence after T1a RCC resection.
Patients Burdened by Cost of Diagnostic Imaging Interpretations
Half of patients are liable for some costs of secondary imaging interpretation, but only 17.1% made out-of-pocket payments
Dual-Energy CT Accurately Diagnoses Urate Crystal Deposition in Gout; Limited Sensitivity for Short-Stage Gout
Researchers assessed the diagnostic performance of the novel semi-quantitative dual-energy CT scoring system in patients with suspected feet/ankles gouty arthritis.
Some Men With PI-RADS 5 Lesions Can Forgo Systematic Prostate Biopsy
Omitting systematic biopsy may reduce adverse events and complications.
MRI Can Avoid Unnecessary Prostate Biopsies Among Screened Men
In a trial of men who volunteered for PSA screening, detection of clinically insignificant tumors and benign findings were reduced when prostate biopsy was performed only in those with positive MRI results.
PSMA-PET/CT May Detect Prostate Cancer More Accurately Than mpMRI
Early results support a fully-powered trial of 18F-PSMA PET/CT for prostate cancer detection, according to the investigators.
Photodynamic Diagnosis Ups Detection of BCG-Refractory Bladder Tumors
Photodynamic diagnosis cystoscopy demonstrates greater sensitivity in the detection of BCG-refractor bladder tumors compared with standard white light cystoscopy.
