Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and transrectal sonography of 27 patients with biopsy-proved carcinoma of the prostate were performed to compare the sensitivity of these modalities to each other for diagnosis and to computed tomography (CT) for staging. Sonography was superior to MRI for the detection of intraglandular carcinoma and capsular disruption. MRI was superior to both sonography and CT for evaluating seminal vesicle invasion, and slightly better than CT for detecting lymphadenopathy.

Pelvic Venous Disorder (PEVD) and May-Thurner syndrome (MTS) represent relatively understudied vascular issues that can significantly impact patients' quality of life. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of surgical treatment for PEVD and MTS, conduct a comparative analysis of outcomes, and determine the practical significance of different therapeutic approaches. The study was conducted from 2019 to 2022 in Moscow, Russia, encompassing two outpatient clinics.

: Multiparametric-Magnetic Resonance Imaging(mp-MRI) presents the ability to detect clinically significant cancer, aiming to avoid biopsy if the results are negative or target an abnormal lesion if a suspected lesion of the prostate is found. Recent guidelines recommend the performance of 12 standard biopsies along with 3 to 5 targeted biopsies in suspected prostate lesions, depending on the size of the prostate lesion. In addition, prostate biopsy can be performed by either the transperineal or the transrectal approach.

Background: The relationship between case volume and clinical outcomes is well established for most urological procedures but remains underexplored in prostate ultrasound/MRI fusion biopsy (UMFB). UMFB aims to detect clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) by adhering to cancer detection benchmarks for PI-RADS lesions identified via multiparametric MRI (mpMRI). These benchmarks, defined by Ahmed et al.

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the association between the type of prostate biopsy and the occurrence of rectal wall infiltration (RWI) with hydrogel spacer placement in patients undergoing radiotherapy for prostate cancer.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted involving 175 patients who received hydrogel spacer placement before radiotherapy at the National Cancer Center East Hospital, between October 2021 and December 2023. The patients were categorized based on the type of prostate biopsy: transperineal and transrectal.

Purpose To evaluate the use of an automated hybrid multidimensional MRI (HM-MRI)-based tool to prospectively identify prostate cancer targets before MRI/US fusion biopsy in comparison with Prostate Imaging and Reporting Data System (PI-RADS)-based multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) evaluation by expert radiologists. Materials and Methods In this prospective clinical trial (ClinicalTrials.gov registration no.
