...: A total of 1,680 men with PSA ≤4 ng/mL had a prostate biopsy from January 2004 to December 2014. The differences in clinical factors were analyzed and their independent predictive implications were evaluated. Results: PCa was diagnosed in 331 (19.6%) and 99 of these 331 cancers (14.9%) had a Gleason score...

...Lars Boesen; Nis Nørgaard; Vibeke Løgager; Ingegerd Balslev; Henrik S. Thomsen Introduction: The aim of the study was to compare the prostate cancer (PCa) detection rate of systematic transrectal ultrasound-guided biopsies (TRUS-bx) and multiparametric-MRI targeted biopsies (mp-MRI-bx) in a repeat...

Our aim...

... modalities like shear wave elastography (SWE) are required. Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate per-core detection rates (DRs) of targeted biopsies and systematic biopsies and to test if SWE findings can predict presence of clinically significant PCa (csPCa) at biopsy. Patients and Methods: Overall...

... with a total PSA (tPSA) of 2-10 ng/ml who underwent initial prostate biopsy. Multivariate logistic regression models were complemented by predictive accuracy analysis. Results: PCa was diagnosed in 31.2% of subjects. Median tPSA did not differ between groups, while PSA density (PSAD), percent free PSA (%fPSA...

Chun; Evanguelos Xylinas; Yves Allory; Laurent Salomon; Alexandre de la Taille Objective: We aimed to build a nomogram allowing to predict the probability of prostate cancer (PC) after an initial 21-core biopsy and with readily available clinical...

...Tetsuo Nozaki; Hiroaki Iida; Akihiro Morii; Yasuyoshi Fujiuchi; Akira Komiya; Hideki Fuse Background and Purpose: When percutaneous image-guided biopsies are not possible for retroperitoneal tumor of unknown origin (RTUO), surgical tissue diagnosis becomes necessary. Laparotomy and laparoscopic...

...) who have no evidence of disease after standard initial investigations. Patients and Methods: Between February 2009 and December 2010, 12 patients with positive or suspicious VUC but no regular endoscopic evidence of cancer were investigated with NBI flexible cystoscopy. All the specimens were biopsied...
