Omitting systematic biopsy in men with elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels and negative MRI results, and performing only targeted biopsy of MRI-positive lesions, eliminated more than half ...

When MRI offered no clear answer in suspected prostate cancer, the use of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-PET/CT showed promise for reducing the number of biopsies without compromising the ...
