Rates of severe infection after transrectal ultrasound-guided (TRUS) prostate biopsy that require hospitalization are on the rise, a population-based Swedish study shows. "Over 100,000 biopsies are ...

A single PSA test at midlife may identify men with a low risk of prostate cancer for up to 20 years, supporting longer screening intervals. Men with a low baseline PSA level at midlife have a low risk ...

Grade group 1 prostate cancer assessment should include PSA, stage, and disease volume for accurate risk evaluation. Active surveillance is safe for most low-risk patients, but higher-risk features ...

A polygenic risk score was able to detect a high proportion of clinically significant prostate cancer. Cancer would not have been detected in 71.8% of patients with the use of PSA or MRI screening.

The risk factors for prostate cancer – and when to request a test - ...
