Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), with or without targeted biopsy, is an alternative to standard transrectal ultrasonography-guided biopsy for prostate-cancer detection in men a raised prostate-specific antigen level who have not undergone biopsy. However, comparative evidence limited.In multicenter, randomized, noninferiority trial, we assigned clinical suspicion of prostate cancer had previously undergo MRI, Men the MRI-targeted group underwent (without cores) if MRI was...
Case reports have been a long held tradition within the surgical literature. Reporting guidelines can improve transparency and reporting quality. However, recent consensus-based for case (CARE) are not surgically focused. Our objective was to develop report guidelines.The CARE statement used as basis Delphi consensus. The questionnaire administered via Google Forms conducted using standard methodology. A multidisciplinary group of surgeons others with expertise in were invited participate....
Case series have been a long held tradition within the surgical literature and are still frequently published. Reporting guidelines can improve transparency reporting quality. No guideline exists for case series, our recent systematic review highlights fact that key data being missed from such reports. Our objective was to develop series.A Delphi consensus exercise conducted determine items include in guideline. Items included those identified previous on SCARE Guidelines The questionnaire...
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with targeted biopsy is an appealing alternative to systematic 12-core transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS) for prostate cancer diagnosis, but has yet be widely adopted.To determine whether MRI only was noninferior TRUS biopsies in the detection of International Society Urological Pathology grade group (GG) 2 or greater cancer.This multicenter, prospective randomized clinical trial conducted 5 Canadian academic health sciences centers between January 2017 and...
Abstract Multiparametric MRI is the optimal primary investigation when prostate cancer suspected, and its ability to rule in out clinically significant disease relies on high-quality anatomical functional images. Avenues for achieving consistent acquisitions include meticulous patient preparation, scanner setup, optimised pulse sequences, personnel training, artificial intelligence systems. The impact of these interventions final images needs be quantified. imaging quality (PI-QUAL) scoring...
The Prostate Cancer Radiological Estimation of Change in Sequential Evaluation (PRECISE) recommendations standardise the reporting prostate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) patients on active surveillance (AS) for cancer. An international consensus group recently updated these and identified areas uncertainty.

Our aim was to evaluate whether transperineal (TP) MRI-targeted prostate biopsy (TBx) may improve the detection of clinically significant cancer (csPCa), defined as International Society Urological Pathology ≥2, in comparison transrectal (TR) TBx.A multicenter retrospective cohort study comprising patients who underwent MRI-guided conducted. To address possible benefits TP-TBx (PCa) and csPCa, a undergoing were compared TR-TBx. Multivariable logistic regression analyses performed assess...
Introduction Prostate MRI is a well-established tool for the diagnostic work-up men with suspected prostate cancer (PCa). Current recommendations advocate use of multiparametric (mpMRI), which composed three sequences: T2-weighted sequence (T2W), diffusion-weighted (DWI) and dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE). Prior studies suggest that biparametric (bpMRI) approach, omitting DCE sequences, may not compromise clinically significant detection, though there are limitations to these studies, it...
Background High variability in prostate MRI quality might reduce accuracy cancer detection. Purpose To prospectively evaluate the of scanners taking part control phase global PRIME (Prostate Imaging Using ± Contrast Enhancement) trial using Prostate Quality (PI-QUAL) standardized scoring system, give recommendations on how to improve protocols, and establish whether could be improved by these recommendations. Materials Methods In prospective clinical (PRIME), for each scanner, centers...
