High cancer detection rate using cognitive fusion - targeted transperineal prostate biopsies

Int. braz. j. urol; 43 (4), 2017
ABSTRACT Objective MRI of the prostate improves diagnostic accuracy of prostate cancer. Different fusion approaches with transrectal ultrasound images are employed. Objective To determine detection rate of prostate cancer in men undergoing transperineal MRI-based cognitive fusion biopsy. Materials a...

The change in serum Thiol/Disulphide homeostasis after transrectal ultrasound guided prostate biopsy

Int. braz. j. urol; 43 (3), 2017
ABSTRACT Objectives The aim of this prospective clinical study was to investigate variations in a novel oxidative stress marker (thiol/disulphide homeostasis) in men who underwent transrectal ultrasound guided prostate biopsy (TRUSB). Materials and Methods A total of 22 men undergoing TRUSB of the pr...

¿Es necesario realizar un estudio de etapificación en todos los pacientes con cáncer de próstata?: Experiencia de un centro clínico nacional

Rev. méd. Chile; 145 (5), 2017
Background: The role of staging studies in patients with prostate cancer (PCa) is a topic of discussion. Aim: To evaluate the usefulness of imaging studies in patients with prostate cancer.

Predictive role of Trimprob associated with multiparametric MRI in the diagnosis of prostate cancer

Int. braz. j. urol; 43 (1), 2017
ABSTRACT Objectives To evaluate the predictive value of TRIMprob test to detect prostate cancer (PCa) in patients referred to prostate biopsy (PB). Material and Methods Patients with PSA <10ng/mL and rectal exam without findings suggestive of prostate cancer were selected for TRIMprob evaluation. ...

Prostate cancer detection using multiparametric 3 – tesla MRI and fusion biopsy: preliminary results

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of transrectal ultrasonography (US) biopsy with imaging fusion using multiparametric (mp) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with suspicion of prostate cancer (PCa), with an emphasis on clinically significant tumors according to histologi...

Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging findings of prostatic pure leiomyomas

Einstein (Säo Paulo); 14 (3), 2016
ABSTRACT Objective: To describe the imaging findings of prostatic tumors nonadenocarcinoma on multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging. Methods: A total of 200 patients underwented multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging of the prostate for screening for prostate cancer, from August 2013 to Septem...

Does an asymmetric lobe in digital rectal examination include any risk for prostate cancer? results of 1495 biopsies

Int. braz. j. urol; 42 (4), 2016
ABSTRACT Introduction: Despite the well-known findings related to malignity in DRE such as nodule and induration, asymmetry of prostatic lobes, seen relatively, were investigated in a few studies as a predictor of prostate cancer so that there is no universally expected conclusion about asymmetry. We ai...

Prostate MRI: a national survey of urologist's attitudes and perceptions

Int. braz. j. urol; 42 (3), 2016
ABSTRACT Introduction The use of multi-parametric (MP) MRI to diagnose prostate cancer has been the subject of intense research, with many studies showing positive results. The purpose of our study is to better understand the accessibility, role, and perceived accuracy of MP-MRI in practice by surveyin...

Evaluation of PCA3 and multiparametric MRI's: collective benefits before deciding initial prostate biopsy for patients with PSA level between 3-10ng/mL

Int. braz. j. urol; 42 (3), 2016
ABSTRACT Objective To analyze the contribution of multiparametric MRI and PCA3 assay, pre- decision of initial biopsy in PSA level between 3-10 ng/mL patients with normal digital rectal examination(DRE). Materials and Methods PSA level 3-10 ng/mL ,patients, with normal DRE results and no previous pro...
