  • Anterior Extension of the Choroid plexus into the Frontal Horns of the Fetal Lateral Cerebral Ventricles: Prenatal Findings and Postnatal Outcome

    CONCLUSIONS: Most fetuses with an anterior extension of the choroid plexus as the sole sonographic finding had favorable outcomes. This article is […]

  • Prostate biopsy in the era of MRI-targeting: towards a judicious use of additional systematic biopsy

    CONCLUSION: Not all men benefit equally from the combination of SBx and MRI-TBx. SBx avoidance in men with PI-RADS 5 and/or previous negative biopsy […]

  • Avoiding Unnecessary Biopsy: MRI-based Risk Models versus a PI-RADS and PSA Density Strategy for Clinically Significant Prostate Cancer

    Background In validation studies, risk models for clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa; Gleason score ≥3+4) combining multiparametric MRI […]

  • Gleason grade 5 prostate cancer: sub-patterns and prognosis

    Since the conception of the Gleason grading system, several modifications have been made, including the definition of Gleason pattern 5 (GP5) and its […]

  • Does the Visibility of Grade Group 1 Prostate Cancer on Baseline Multiparametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging Impact Clinical Outcomes?

    CONCLUSIONS: Men with positive multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging and GG1 prostate cancer on magnetic resonance imaging targeted biopsy are […]

  • Utility of digital rectal examination in a population with prostate cancer treated with active surveillance

    CONCLUSIONS: We believe DRE should still be used as part of AS and can predict the presence of csPCa, even with low PSA values. A suspicious nodule […]

  • Correction to: Correlation of 3T multiparametric prostate MRI using prostate imaging reporting and data system (PIRADS) version 2 with biopsy as reference standard

    Unfortunately the article was published with a spell error in the co-author name "Hassan Maan". The correct co-author name should be "Hassaan Maan".

  • Methylation Markers in Prostate Biopsies Are Prognosticators for Late Biochemical Recurrence and Therapy after Surgery in Prostate Cancer Patients

    After diagnosis of prostate cancer is confirmed by a positive biopsy, the tumor may be surgically removed via radical prostatectomy (RP). However, […]

  • Extraprostatic Extension in Core Biopsies Epitomizes High-risk but Locally Treatable Prostate Cancer

    CONCLUSIONS: EPE on PB is an infrequent finding that is strongly associated with high-risk clinicopathologic prognostic features that accurately […]

  • Author Correction: Germline variation at 8q24 and prostate cancer risk in men of European ancestry

    The original version of this Article contained an error in the spelling of the author Manuela Gago-Dominguez, which was incorrectly given as Manuela […]

  • Fetal myelomeningocele surgery: Only treating the tip of the iceberg

    CONCLUSION: Only a minority of fMMC cases will ultimately undergo fetal surgery. These numbers support the centralization of care in expert centers.

  • Germline variation at 8q24 and prostate cancer risk in men of European ancestry

    Chromosome 8q24 is a susceptibility locus for multiple cancers, including prostate cancer. Here we combine genetic data across the 8q24 […]

  • Correlation of 3T multiparametric prostate MRI using prostate imaging reporting and data system (PIRADS) version 2 with biopsy as reference standard

    CONCLUSION: PIRADS ≥ 3 had high specificity and high negative predictive value for csPCa using biopsy results as the standard of reference. The […]

  • Fine-mapping of prostate cancer susceptibility loci in a large meta-analysis identifies candidate causal variants

    Prostate cancer is a polygenic disease with a large heritable component. A number of common, low-penetrance prostate cancer risk loci have been […]

  • Evaluation of an Aggressive Prostate Biopsy Strategy in Men Younger than 50 Years

    CONCLUSIONS: Our results justify adopting an aggressive prostate biopsy strategy in men younger than 50 years with prostate specific antigen 1.5 […]

  • Role of Magnetic Resonance Imaging Targeted Biopsy in Detection of Prostate Cancer Harboring Adverse Pathological Features of Intraductal Carcinoma and Invasive Cribriform Carcinoma

    CONCLUSIONS: Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging/ultrasound fusion targeted biopsy was associated with significantly increased detection of […]

  • Creation and internal validation of a biopsy avoidance prediction tool to aid in the choice of diagnostic approach in patients with prostate cancer suspicion

    CONCLUSION: These prediction models may help guide clinicians in avoiding unnecessary initial and repeat biopsies in men unlikely to harbor CSPC. […]

  • Modern-day prostate cancer is not meaningfully associated with lower urinary tract symptoms: Analysis of a propensity score-matched cohort

    CONCLUSIONS: Modern PCa does not appear to be associated with worse LUTS compared to benign prostates of the same size. Outlet obstruction is likely […]

  • Germline Mutations in the Kallikrein 6 Region and Predisposition for Aggressive Prostate Cancer

    CONCLUSIONS: Our fine-mapping study has identified novel loci in the KLK 6 region strongly associated with aggressive PCa.

  • Development and external validation of a biopsy-derived nomogram to predict risk of ipsilateral extraprostatic extension

    CONCLUSION: We developed and externally validated a nomogram that predicts the risk of ipsilateral EPE based on commonly used preoperative markers. […]

  • Congenital limb deficiencies with vascular etiology: Possible association with maternal thrombophilia

    Congenital limb deficiency defects (LDDs) are etiologically heterogeneous. Acquired causes include amniotic bands, teratogens exposure, and chorionic […]

  • Limitations in Predicting Organ Confined Prostate Cancer in Patients with Gleason Pattern 4 on Biopsy: Implications for Active Surveillance

    CONCLUSIONS: The quantitative percent of Gleason pattern 4 helps predict advanced disease and Gleason score 7 (3 + 4) is associated with worse […]
