Our study found that PZ biopsies offer no additional benefit for TZ lesion tumors, and increasing the number of cores in the TZ region can compensate for the current limitations of TZ biopsies. These ...

Finding is based on a meta-analysis of 14 high-quality studies involving 19,365 patients. Index prostate tumors located in the transition zone vs peripheral zone have a lower risk of biochemical ...

Prostate zonal anatomy is best demonstrated with MRI. On T2-weighted sequences, the normal prostate can be divided into the peripheral zone, which shows high signal intensity owing to its high water ...

Lesion (arrow) shows hypointensity on T2-weighted image (A), hyperintensity on high b-value DWI (B), hypointensity on ADC map (C), and focal early enhancement on dynamic contrast-enhanced image (D).

Biparametric MRI, which omits dynamic contrast-enhanced sequences, similarly detected clinically significant prostate cancer to multiparametric MRI. Biparametric MRI was also noninferior to ...

A twist on magnetic resonance imaging that does not require gadolinium contrast appears to be as effective as standard imaging at detecting prostate cancers, according to a new study in JAMA. Experts ...
