The findings suggest that an MRI-based approach could be a more accurate alternative for prostate cancer screening, particularly for men with PSA levels lower than 3.0 ng/mL.

Researchers are testing new combinations of drugs to treat breast cancer that’s spread to the bone, thanks to funding from Breast Cancer Now.
