A validation study of new decision algorithms for interpretation of cancer significance on prostate systematic biopsy.
INTRODUCTION To test with actual data a new decision algorithm derived by probability modeling of the number of positive cores, for deciding insignificant versus significant prostate cancer, based on prostate volume, Gleason score, tumor length on biopsy cores, and number of positive cores. MATERIALS AND METHODS A dataset of 59 cancer-involved autopsied prostate glands from patients aged 42 t...
متن کاملSignal Intensity of High B-value Diffusion-weighted Imaging for the Detection of Prostate Cancer
Background: Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is a main component of multiparametric MRI for prostate cancer detection. Recently, high b value DWI has gained more attention because of its capability for tumor characterization. Objective: To assess based on histopathological findings of transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)-guided prostate biopsy as a reference, an...

Among men, prostate cancer (CaP) is the most common newly diagnosed cancer and the second leading cause of death from cancer. A major issue of very large scale is avoiding both over-treatment and under-treatment of CaP cases. The central challenge is deciding clinical significance or insignificance when the CaP biopsy results are positive but only marginally so. A related concern is deciding ho...
