Radiomic features on MRI enable risk categorization of prostate cancer patients on active surveillance: Preliminary findings

Repeat multiparametric MRI in prostate cancer patients on active surveillance

INTRODUCTION This study was conducted to describe the changes in repeat multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) occurring in prostate cancer (PCa) patients during active surveillance (AS), and to study possible associations between mpMRI-related parameters in predicting prostate biopsy (Bx) Gleason score (GS) upgrading >3+3 and protocol-based treatment change (TC). MATERIALS AND METHODS The study cohort ...

Multiparametric-MRI and Targeted Biopsies in the Management of Prostate Cancer Patients on Active Surveillance

An important key to clinical management of prostate cancer patients is to determine early those who will benefit from primary treatment and are not good candidates for active surveillance (AS). We describe a 67-year-old gentleman with a long history of stable prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels and a negative biopsy. After slight PSA rise and low volume Gleason score 6 biopsy, the patient wa...

Active surveillance for low-risk prostate cancer

During the last decades, incidence of prostate cancer has increased at the expense of cases at low-risk of progression. Meanwhile, the concept of active surveillance has gained widespread acceptance in order to decease the risk of overtreatment. Active surveillance is based on a strict patient monitoring to detect potential disease progression and to propose on time a radical differed treatment...
