Prostate cancer diagnosis require MRI analysis, however, scoring can vary between clinicians. Here, the authors develop ProAI to detect prostate cancer from imaging.

Deciding whether to perform pelvic lymph node dissection at the time of prostate cancer surgery could be assisted by using prostate-specific membrane antigen-PET imaging. In favourable intermediate-risk prostate cancer, this imaging technique could be used to identify patients who could forego pelvic lymph node dissection.

The high prevalence of urological conditions means that it should not come as a surprise that we, as urologists, have a high chance of one day needing the assistance of a urological colleague. As a urological patient, the lessons are humbling and provide an incredible opportunity to do better for our own patients.

Large language models have been rapidly adopted in general and clinically; they could also be incorporated into medical education. Results of a recent study suggest that a combination of traditional learning methods and large language model use could improve learning outcomes for medical students.

Transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy is associated with limitations including high infection rates, sampling limitations and patient discomfort, which have led to the development of the transperineal approach. Randomized trials show that transperineal biopsy offers at least equivalent detection of clinically significant prostate cancer, providing robust evidence for a clinical practice change.
