  Active surveillance (AS) has become a widely recommended approach for managing patients with low or favourable intermediate-risk prostate cancer. This strategy aims to delay or avoid radical treatments and their associated side effects while maintaining effective cancer control. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), particularly multiparametric MRI...Read more

  Prostate cancer (PCa) is highly prevalent globally among men, necessitating improved diagnostic accuracy, especially for clinically significant cases (csPCa) requiring aggressive treatment to reduce mortality. While prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is commonly used for screening, its reliance leads to over-diagnosis concerns due to lack of cancer...Read more

In the United States, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening is often performed annually, with a low threshold for biopsy and aggressive treatment for detected cancers. Now, the use of multiparametric (functional and anatomical) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is being examined for the evaluation of men with an elevated PSA level. The findings...Read more

Multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) is a novel imaging tool that is increasingly used for prostate cancer detection. Key obstacles to routine use of prostate MRI include quality control, cost and access. To optimise resource utilisation and reduce unnecessary costs, a new machine learning model has been developed for identifying which patients could benefit...Read more
