Reportedly the first FDA-approved PSMA PET agent with proprietary radiohybrid technology, POSLUMA can be utilized for positron emission tomography (PET) scans of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positive lesions in men with prostate cancer and suspected metastasis, and those with suspected prostate cancer recurrence based on an elevated serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level.
The use of adjunctive artificial intelligence (AI) reportedly improved lesion level sensitivity by nearly 19 percent and patient level specificity by 14 percent for the diagnosis of clinically significant prostate cancer on multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
In a recent video interview from the American Urological Association (AUA) 2023 Annual Meeting, Brian Helfand, M.D., discussed emerging research that shows the potential viability of the agent F18-rhPSMA-7.3 for enhancing the detection of prostate cancer recurrence and facilitating earlier intervention for patients with low prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels.
An update to Quantib Prostate 2.1, Quantib Prostate 3.0 reportedly facilitates workflow advances and offers a variety of tools, ranging from artificial intelligence (AI)-based segmentation to PI-RADS scoring support, to help improve interpretation of prostate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
The FDA granted 510(k) clearance to Unfold AI, which was formerly known as iQuest, in December 2022.
In addition to a previously FDA-cleared brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) module, the Advantis Platform features an artificial intelligence-powered prostate MRI module that offers simultaneous viewing of conventional and advanced sequences, and reportedly generates automated PI-RADS assessments.
In a study of over 1,200 men with over 3,200 prostatic lesions, an explainable artificial intelligence (AI) model demonstrated a sensitivity rate of 93 percent for detecting clinically significant prostate cancer.
A new study shows that active surveillance and watchful waiting are being utilized in nearly 60 percent of patients with low-risk prostate cancer in the United States.

In a recent study of a deep learning software in patients with suspected prostate cancer, researchers noted no difference in the detection of clinically significant prostate cancer nor PI-RADS scoring consistency.
The expanded indication could facilitate improved access to imaging for patients with metastatic prostate cancer who are candidates for radioligand treatment.
In a video interview from the recent American Society of Clinical Oncology Genitourinary Cancers (ASCO GU) Symposium, Brian Chapin, MD, discussed emerging research that demonstrated the ability of the positron emission tomography (PET) agent 18F-rhPSMA-7.3 to diagnose distant M1 lesions prior to surgery for patients with intermediate to high-risk prostate cancer.
New research from the American Cancer Society comparing pre-pandemic cancer screening prevalence to the second year of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States showed a 1.1 million decrease in breast cancer screenings, a 4.4 million decrease in cervical cancer screening and a 600,000 decrease in prostate cancer screenings.

In a recent video interview, Amar Kishan, M.D., discussed a new study that demonstrated significant side effect reduction when utilizing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) guidance instead of computed tomography (CT) guidance for stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) to treat localized prostate cancer.
A new study found that approximately one-third of men with prostate cancer were diagnosed with at least one vertebral fracture prior to the initiation of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT).

In a study of nearly 18,000 men who had prostate cancer screening, researchers found the use of pre-biopsy magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for those with elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels and reserving MRI-targeted biopsy for those with PI-RADS scores of 3 to 5 reduced the risk of detecting clinically insignificant cancers by half.

The Food and Drug Administration has granted 510(k) clearance to iQuest (Avenda Health), an artificial intelligence (AI) platform that combines findings from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), pathology reports and biopsy results to facilitate three-dimensional mapping of prostate cancer.
For patients recently diagnosed with prostate cancer, the emerging positron emission tomography (PET) agent 18F-rhPSMA-7.3 reportedly has a 96 percent specificity rate for detecting pelvic lymph node metastases, according to Phase 3 study results recently presented at the 22nd Annual Scientific Meeting of the Society of Urologic Oncology (SUO).
