Early and accurate diagnosis leads to clear options for treatment. Unfortunately, standard TRUS prostate biopsies are often imprecise, with the ability to detect only 30-41% of cancers.1 Philips offers a comprehensive prostate cancer diagnosis solution in utilizing MRI/US fusion that is in use at 22 of the 25 of the top cancer hospitals in the US.2 This unified, orchestrated approach to prostate cancer diagnosis and care has significant benefits for clinical teams and for patients.
This more targeted approach can benefit patients by potentially reducing instances of biopsy-related hospitalization, decreasing likelihood of sepsis, and most importantly, avoiding the need for repeat biopsies.3 Whichever method is chosen, ensuring that patients have the highest quality care possible can be complicated given the many specialties involved in the prostate cancer journey, such as urology, radiology, pathology, genomics and oncology. Inefficient and disconnected workflows further complicate the picture.
Research suggests that prostate cancer is most prevalent in men of African descent, compared to men of European or Asian descent8
UroNav fuses pre-biopsy MR images of the prostate with ultrasound-guided biopsy images in real time, for excellent delineation of the prostate and suspicious lesions, as well as clear visualization of the biopsy needle path. Combining electromagnetic tracking and navigation with an onboard computer and a real-time imaging interface, UroNav brings precision targeting to your clinical practice in one easy-to-use, mobile workstation.
Offers a comprehensive set of tools for real-time analysis, review, and reporting of multi-parametric, multi-vendor(3) MRI studies. Enhances productivity by transferring images directly from the MRI to DynaCAD and utilizing its robust, automatic post-processing tools and display the results in customized hanging protocols for analysis and reporting.
DynaCAD Urology is a purpose build solution that empowers urologists with a dedicated set of tools for utilizing multi-parametric MR data in fusion biopsy workflows. It also provides a solution for managing patients’ biopsy data in urology.
Our clinical solutions can enhance detection and improve the patient experience by reducing unnecessary biopsies and potentially reducing post-procedure complications. Digital pathology saves time and resources through streamlined collaborative features and case management tools.
improvement in high-risk prostate cancer diagnosis using fusion biopsy vs standard biopsy5
reduction in pathological upgrading to clinically significant prostate cancer with targeted and systematic biopsies vs systematic biopsies alone5
increase in prostate cancers identified with combined targeted and systematic biopsy compared to systematic biopsy alone9
hours/day saved through increased lab efficiency by using digital pathology workflows10
faster MRI scans using Compressed SENSE with virtually equal image quality11
Philips can assess where you are today so you can build an approach to improve prostate cancer diagnosis by integrating urology, radiology, pathology, genomics and oncology. Discover how we can help you implement, manage and grow your prostate care program.
