A groundbreaking technique developed by scientists at Heriot Watt University in Edinburgh, could offer new hope for faster and more accessible prostate cancer detection. Using existing ultrasound equipment instead of expensive MRI scanners, the test could lead to early prostate cancer detection and prove to be cost-effective for patients.
The new technique has also shown promise in early trials where it displayed a 94% accuracy rate in identifying tumors. This can help transform diagnosis and treatment of the most common cancer in men in the UK.
