Bring clarity to prostate cancer diagnosis
Improving prostate cancer detection for more patients
Do you want to learn how Philips can help?
Precise, personalized care starts here
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.

Troubling inequities
Research suggests that prostate cancer is most prevalent in men of African descent, compared to men of European or Asian descent8
High-quality prostate cancer care is personalized for each patient
Philips provides the tools needed for patient-centered MR imaging, advanced visualization and reporting, MR/fusion-guided biopsies, digital pathology and genomic insights. This integrated approach unites urology, radiology, pathology, genomics and oncology with an end-to-end flow of data that streamlines workflows, enhances collaboration for more confidence, delivers meaningful insights and helps support quality of life for patients with prostate cancer. Our clinical solutions can further enhance the patient experience by reducing unnecessary biopsies and post-procedure complications.
Key capabilities for clarity in prostate cancer diagnosis
