In the last years, PSMA-PET imaging and multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) have improved the clinical management of prostate cancer (PCa) patients. Currently, mpMRI is recommended by the EAU (European Association of Urology) guidelines for the primary diagnosis of PCa, whereas PSMA-PET is reserved for disease staging, particularly in high risk localized or locally advanced disease, as well as for biochemical recurrence after surgery. Nevertheless, several studies have explored the added value of PSMA-PET in other clinical scenarios, including primary diagnosis and especially for the detection of clinically significant PCa (csPCa). In the present contribution, we will provide an overview and an update on the current literature on imaging detection of csPCa, with a particular focus on mpMRI, PSMA-PET and their comparison.

Multiple myeloma is a hematologic malignancy characterized by the proliferation of abnormal plasma cells in the bone marrow. Despite therapeutic advancements, there remains a critical need for reliable, noninvasive methods to monitor multiple myeloma. Circulating plasma cells (CPCs) in peripheral blood are robust and independent prognostic markers, but their detection is challenging due to their low abundance.

Background: The aim is to develop age-specific anti-Müllerian hormone screening criteria for polycystic ovary syndrome to facilitate the early detection and diagnosis of the condition, and to subsequently evaluate the screening criteria.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on patient data from Hangzhou Women's Hospital between July 2021 and August 2024. The use of restricted cubic spline analysis helped identify age-related inflection points, which were crucial for segmenting the patient population.
