在美国第一个使用融合活检

In 2017, 康科德医院泌尿科护理中心 became the first in New Hampshire to use a new technique that more accurately diagnoses prostate cancer, saving lives 和 preventing patients from undergoing unnecessary prostate biopsies.

融合活组织检查

Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among men 和 the second leading cause of cancer death among men in New Hampshire*. Each year, the Center for Urologic Care conducts an average of 300 prostate biopsies. In 2016, before 融合活组织检查 began, less than half, discovered prostate cancer. Urologists recognize that the traditional biopsy method exposes too many men to needless biopsies 和 often misses small cancers.

新技术, 融合活组织检查, 保险丝, 或匹配, ultrasound imaging 和 Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to provide a vivid ‘live’ view of potential tumors, enabling doctors to precisely target biopsies — increasing the rate of finding significant cancers by 30 percent.

在泌尿科护理中心(Center for urology Care). 威廉·桑蒂斯传统地说, a biopsy might be ordered to obtain prostate tissue samples from men with abnormal prostate exams or elevated PSA blood levels. 前列腺特异性抗原, 或PSA, levels often are elevated in men with prostate cancer but can be elevated for other, 发生的原因. 传统的活组织检查, doctors guided by live ultrasound images obtain samples from different regions of the prostate, 没有具体的目标. 检查结果提示做核磁共振检查的病人, targets are identified by previously obtained MRI images, which doctors study before using live ultrasound images to guide a probe to those general areas.

Fusion biopsy 保险丝 the MRI images with live ultrasound imaging to guide the biopsy needle to very specific targets. The MRI images essentially come alive 和 match the movements of the ultrasound device. Dr. Santis said because they are more useful than traditional untargeted biopsies, MRIs that can precisely identify potential tumors soon may become the st和ard for men with elevated PSA levels. The routine use of MRI 和 other blood tests to follow up elevated PSA levels also may allow up to 20 percent of men with an elevated PSA to avoid biopsies. For men who need a biopsy to confirm or rule out cancer, he believes the bulk of biopsies soon may be performed with the fusion technique.

康科德医院泌尿科护理中心 performs approximately 30-40 prostate MRIs per month. 自2017年加入融合活检技术以来，Dr. 桑蒂斯博士和他的同事. Amichai Kilchevsky 和 Robert Mitchell have performed over 200 fusion biopsies.
