Article Synopsis
- This study examined the link between diffusion coefficients in certain prostate lesions and significant prostate cancer within the transition zone.
- A total of 102 patients who had biopsies for high-risk prostate lesions were analyzed, revealing a 49% cancer detection rate and that lower diffusion coefficients were associated with clinically significant cancer.
- The findings suggest that the minimum apparent diffusion coefficient could serve as an important predictor for identifying clinically significant prostate cancer, aiding decisions on further biopsies for patients displaying these lesions.
Primary small-cell carcinoma arising from the bladder (SmCCB) is uncommon. It differs from urothelial carcinoma (UC), the most common type of bladder cancer, with respect to its cell of origin, biology, and prognosis. Biologically, prostatic SmCCB is much more aggressive than UC, and the prognosis for cases with distant metastasis is especially poor.
