Study: Image-guided biopsy viable in prostate cancer

This is the largest prostate cancer study that examined the exome, according to the researchers, who believe their findings can potentially inform the makeup of panels used for genetic testing in prostate cancer.

In this episode, Janelle Bunce, PA-C, highlights the role that advanced practice providers can play in filling the gaps created by the growing workforce shortages in urology.

Data showed that the proportion of Black patients referred for genomic testing increased from 19% to 58% after the implementation of the precision medicine navigator.

"We're excited that the FDA approval of this radiotracer gives us yet more tools at our disposal to diagnose prostate cancer in all its forms, from early to late in the disease process," says David M. Schuster, MD, FACR.

The approval is supported by findings from the phase 2 PHYOX2 trial and interim data from the phase 3 PHYOX3 extension study.

"The reported bpMRI-based AI model detected the majority of locally recurrent prostate cancer after radiotherapy," the authors wrote in their study conclusion.
