Study: 'All Men with PSAs Between 3 and 20 ng/mL Should Undergo MRI Before Biopsy'
In a study of over 23,000 men who had PSA testing, researchers found that the adoption of pre-biopsy MRI resulted in a 21 percent decrease in negative biopsies and a 37 percent increase in the proportion of diagnosed Gleason score 7 to 10 prostate cancers.
Emerging PSMA PET Agent May Offer Improved Detection of Prostate Cancer
The PSMA PET agent 64Cu SAR-bisPSMA detected a higher number of prostate cancer lesions and had a significantly higher SUVmax and SUVmean than 68Ga PSMA-11 PET/CT, according to initial data from a prospective multisite study presented at the recent Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) conference.
