Biopsy-Integrated 3D Magnetic Resonance Imaging Modeling of Prostate Cancer and Its Application for Gleason Grade and Tumor Laterality Assessment - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35512234/
doi: 10.5858/arpa.2021-0256-OA. Online ahead of print. 1 From the Department of Pathology, Gil Medical Center, Gachon University College of Medicine, Incheon, Korea (Kim). 2 The Department of Urology (Lim, Jeong),...
Conclusions: The 3-dimensional model incorporating MRI and MRI-transrectal ultrasound fusion biopsy information easily recognized the spatial distribution of MRI-visible and MRI-nonvisible cancer and provided better Grade Group correlation with radical prostatectomy specimens but still requires validation.
Comparing Iridium-192 with Cobalt-60 sources in high-dose-rate brachytherapy boost for localized prostate cancer - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35485446/
Background: Dosimetric and clinical comparison of two cohorts of Iridium-192 (Ir-192) and Cobalt-60 (Co-60) high-dose-rate brachytherapy (DR-BT) boost for localized prostate cancer. Material and methods: Patients with localized prostate cancer...
Conclusion: Co-60 brachytherapy sources are an effective alternative to Ir-192 in combined prostate HDR-BT boost EBRT.
Comparing the diagnostic performance of radiotracers in prostate cancer biochemical recurrence: a systematic review and meta-analysis - PubMed

Conclusion: The DRs of PSMA-radiotracers were greater than those of choline-radiotracers and fluciclovine-radiotracers at the patient level. 18F-labeled PSMA achieved a higher DR than 68Ga-labeled PSMA.
New model of PIRADS and adjusted prostatespecific antigen density of peripheral zone improves the detection rate of initial prostate biopsy: a diagnostic study - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35488668/
This study explored a new model of Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PIRADS) and adjusted prostate-specific antigen density of peripheral zone (aPSADPZ) for predicting the occurrence of prostate cancer...
Conclusion: This study demonstrates that aPSADPZ has a higher predictive accuracy for PCa diagnosis than the conventional indicators. Combining aPSADPZ with PIRADS can improve PCa diagnosis and avoid unnecessary biopsies.
Association between medical androgen deprivation therapy and long-term cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality in non-metastatic prostate cancer - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35489025/
Studies have suggested that prostate cancer (PCa) patients receiving androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) are at increased risk of developing or exacerbating cardiovascular disease (CVD). We aimed to explore the association...
Conclusion/Relevance: A relationship between ADT and composite CVD and all-cause mortality was observed, especially in those with moderate CVD risk and longer treatment duration. Future studies with more detailed cancer data are needed to verify the clinical relevance of these results, especially when considering all-cause mortality within the...
