The following is a summary of “Optimal PSA density threshold for prostate biopsy in benign prostatic obstruction patients ...

level ≥4.0 ng/ml is predictive of prostate cancer, and necessitates a biopsy. But there is a dearth of prospective data on the predictive value of PSA levels below this threshold. To analyse the ...

—Physicians surveyed for a new study said that reports generated by artificial intelligence (AI) were, with a few exceptions, accurate and complete. They could also be modified faster than ...

All repeat biopsies used a transrectal ultrasound-guided 12-core protocol, in which six biopsy cores were obtained from the periphery of the prostate (directed bilaterally at the base, mid-zone ...
