The purpose of this study is to determine the overall and sector-based performance of 3-T multiparametric MRI for prostate cancer (PCa) detection and localization by using Prostate Imaging-Reporting and Data System version 2 (PI-RADSv2) scoring and segmentation compared with whole-mount histopathologic analysis. Multiparametric 3-T MRI examinations of 415 consecutive men were compared with thin-section whole-mount histopathologic analysis. A genitourinary radiologist and pathologist collectively determined concordance. Two radiologists assigned PI-RADSv2 categories and sectoral location to all detected foci by consensus. Tumor detection rates were calculated for clinical and pathologic (Gleason score) variables. Both rigid and adjusted sector-matching models were used to account for fixation-related issues. The 415 patients had 863 PCa foci (52.7% had a Gleason score ≥ 7, 61.9% were ≥ 1 cm, and 90.4% (375/415) of index lesions were ≥ 1 cm) and 16,185 prostate sectors. Multiparametric MRI enabled greater detection of PCa lesions 1 cm or larger (all lesions vs index lesions, 61.6% vs 81.6%), lesions with Gleason score greater than or equal to 7 (all lesions vs index lesions, 71.4% vs 80.9%), and index lesions with both Gleason score greater than or equal to 7 and size 1 cm or larger (83.3%). Higher sensitivity was obtained for adjusted versus rigid tumor localization for all lesions (56.0% vs 28.5%), index lesions (55.4% vs 34.3%), lesions with Gleason score greater than or equal to 7 (55.7% vs 36.0%), and index lesions 1 cm or larger (56.1% vs 35.0%). Multiparametric 3-T MRI had similarly high specificity (96.0-97.9%) for overall and index tumor localization with adjusted and rigid sector-matching approaches. Using 3-T multiparametric MRI and PI-RADSv2, we achieved the highest sensitivity (83.3%) for the detection of lesions 1 cm or larger with Gleason score greater than or equal to 7. Sectoral localization of PCa within the prostate was moderate and was better with an adjusted model than with a rigid model.

Background: The prognostic value of tumor regression grade (TRG) after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy for rectal cancer is inconsistent in the literature. Both TRG and post-therapy lymph node (ypN) status could reflect the efficacy of neoadjuvant therapy. Here, we explored whether TRG combined with ypN status could be a prognostic factor for MRI-based lymph node-positive (cN+) rectal cancer following neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy.

The association of prostate cancer with deranged lipid profile and insulin levels is inconsistent and not well understood. This study aimed to analyze the serum levels of lipids, insulin, insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and testosterone and to identify their association with the risk of benign prostatic hyperplasia, prostate cancer and its grading.

The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommends referral to PCA diagnostic pathway based on two criteria: (1) abnormal digital rectal examination (DRE) and (2) elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA). This study evaluates the diagnostic value of routine DRE in patients undergoing PCA assessment with pre-biopsy MRI.

Objective: Well-designed patient education materials (PEMs) increase health literacy, which has been linked to better surgical patient outcomes. The quality of lung cancer surgery PEMs is unknown, however. Here we assessed printed lung cancer surgery PEMs for readability, understandability, actionability, and accessibility.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of ultrafast dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE)-MRI using a compressed sensing (CS) technique for differentiating benign and malignant soft-tissue tumors (STTs) and to evaluate the factors related to the grading of malignant STTs.
Materials And Methods: A total of 165 patients (96 male; mean age, 61 years), comprising 111 with malignant STTs and 54 with benign STTs according to the 2020 WHO classification, underwent DCE-MRI with CS between June 2018 and June 2023. The clinical, qualitative, and quantitative parameters associated with conventional MRI were also obtained.
