Suspicious findings on micro-ultrasound imaging and early detection of prostate cancer
نویسندگان
چکیده
The ExactVu™ Micro-Ultrasound system is a new high resolution imaging system for visualizing the prostate and has been FDA, CE, and Health Canada approved for visualization and biopsy of the prostate. The PRI-MUS™ (Prostate Risk Identification for Micro-Ultrasound) protocol has previously been demonstrated to correlate with risk of prostate cancer and severity of cancer. Here we present a case where a healthy 50 year old subject with no known risk factors volunteered to test the ExactVu system and was found to harbour multiple PRI-MUS 3-5 lesions. This prompted PSA testing, biopsy and eventual diagnosis of significant prostate cancer.

Background: Prostate cancer is the third leading cause of death and is the most common cause of cancer in elderly men. Regarding to the low accuracy of screening methods such as prostate-specific antigen (PSA), Digital Rectal Examination (DRE) and trans rectal ultrasound (TRUS) in detection and localization of tumor, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Diffusion Weighted Imaging (DWI) attracte...

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...

Background and purpose: Prostate cancer is one of the most prevalent diseases among men. The role of heredity in prostate cancer has been proved by epidemiologic studies. By utilization of prostate specific antigen (PSA) and digital rectal exam (DRE) we could diagnose the disease before the clinical manifestation and implement screening programs. The purpose of this study was to screen the pros...
