Transperineal cognitive fusion MRI-targeted biopsy shows higher detection rates than systematic biopsy in prostate cancer: a prospective cohort study
Prostate Cancer & BPH 5 min.
Systematic biopsy (SBx) has traditionally been the gold standard for diagnosing prostate cancer, but its clinical application has significant limitations [1, 2]. Although 12-core systematic biopsy has largely replaced the traditional sextant biopsy, its random sampling strategy still cannot overcome...
Deep learning-based diffusion-weighted imaging vs. conventionally obtained diffusion-weighted imaging in prostate cancer extracapsular extension detection: a multicenter retrospective study

Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most common cancer in men and the third most common cancer of all cancer types [1]. Accurate preoperative staging of PCa is critical for guiding treatment decisions [2]. Extracapsular extension (ECE) is a key determinant in preoperative staging and significantly influences...
Clinically informed intermediate reasoning enables generalizable prostate cancer prognostication through machine learning in limited settings
