A recent approach to radiotherapy for prostate cancer is the administration of high doses of radiation to the prostate while minimizing the risk of side effects. Thus, image-guided radiotherapy utilizes advanced imaging techniques and is a feasible strategy for increasing the radiation dose. New radioactive particles are another approach to achieving high doses and safe procedures. Prostate brachytherapy is currently considered as a combination therapy. Spacers are useful to protect adjacent organs, specifically the rectum, from excessive radiation exposure.

Background: The current standard prostate biopsy method, which combine systematic biopsy (SB) with targeted biopsy (TB), has shortcomings such as overdiagnosis and overtreatment. To evaluate the effectiveness of ipsilateral systematic biopsy (ips-SB) combined with targeted biopsy (ips-SB+TB) and contralateral SB (con-SB) combined with TB (con-SB+TB) as potential alternatives to SB+TB.
Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted in Cochrane, Embase, Ovid, and PubMed databases until September 2024.

Purpose: In radiation therapy for prostate cancer, bladder ultrasound diagnostic devices are utilized. However, the performance of all devices has not been fully evaluated. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of three devices-Lilium IP200 (IP200; Lilium Otsuka, Kanagawa), CubeScan BioCon-900S (900S; JCT, Hiroshima), and BVI 6100 (BVI 6100; Verathon, Bothell, WA, USA)-as tools for measuring bladder volume.
