All participants underwent prostate multiparametric MRI and random or targeted biopsies as well as prostate-specific antigen testing. Initial results showed that prostate MRI was better to predict prostate cancer than PSA. Read the article here.

Cleveland Diagnostics is developing a technology and test kit that can identify the PSA that specifically comes from cancer cells. Read the article here.
