Assessing cancer risk in the anterior part of the prostate using micro-ultrasound: validation of a novel distinct protocol

1

Early diagnosis of prostate cancer significantly reduces cancer-specific mortality in selected patients.
2

A novel high-resolution transrectal micro-ultrasound at 29 MHz enhances detection of clinically significant prostate cancer.
3

The Prostate Risk Identification using Micro-Ultrasound (PRI-MUS) protocol categorizes cancer risk with a 10% increase in probability per risk score increment.
4

This study validated a microUS risk score specifically for predicting significant prostate cancer in the anterior part of the prostate.
5

Training material was developed to help readers differentiate between microUS appearances of benign and cancerous anterior prostate tissue.
