Tracking tumor evolution via the prostate marker PSA: An individual post-operative study [PDF]
arXiv, 2009 The progress of the prostate-specific antigen after radical prostatectomy is observed for a patient in order to extract information on the growth mode of the tumor cells. An initial fast-growth mode goes over to a slower power-law regime within two years of surgery.

Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2017 BACKGROUND Prostate cancer is commonly diagnosed in men worldwide. Surgery, in the form of radical prostatectomy, is one of the main forms of treatment for men with localised prostate cancer. Prostatectomy has traditionally been performed as open surgery,

Novel evaluation of surgical activity recognition models using task-based efficiency metrics [PDF]
International Journal of Computer Assisted Radiology and Surgery
(IJCARS) 2019, 2019 Purpose: Surgical task-based metrics (rather than entire procedure metrics) can be used to improve surgeon training and, ultimately, patient care through focused training interventions. Machine learning models to automatically recognize individual tasks or activities are needed to overcome the otherwise manual effort of video review.

Optimal MRI sequences for 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/MRI in evaluation of biochemically recurrent prostate cancer. [PDF]
, 2017 BackgroundPET/MRI can be used for the detection of disease in biochemical recurrence (BCR) patients imaged with 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET. This study was designed to determine the optimal MRI sequences to localize positive findings on 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET of patients
