The role of the digital rectal examination as diagnostic test for prostate cancer detection in obese patients.

Journal of B.U.ON. : official journal of the Balkan Union of Oncology
PURPOSE: Digital rectal examination (DRE) is a routine part of prostate cancer Purpose: Digital rectal examination (DRE) is a routine part of prostate cancer (PCa) screening and provides important prognostic information. The purpose of this study was...

Evaluating prostate cancer diagnostic methods: The role and relevance of digital rectal examination in modern era.

Investigative and clinical urology
This review examines diagnostic methods for prostate cancer, focusing on the role of digital rectal examination (DRE) alongside modern advancements like prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing, Prostate Health Index (PHI), magnetic resonance imaging ...

An Automated Feature Engineering for Digital Rectal Examination Documentation using Natural Language Processing.

AMIA ... Annual Symposium proceedings. AMIA Symposium
Digital rectal examination (DRE) is considered a quality metric for prostate cancer care. However, much of the DRE related rich information is documented as free-text in clinical narratives. Therefore, we aimed to develop a natural language processin...

Is it possible to automatically assess pretreatment digital rectal examination documentation using natural language processing? A single-centre retrospective study.

BMJ open
OBJECTIVES: To develop and test a method for automatic assessment of a quality metric, provider-documented pretreatment digital rectal examination (DRE), using the outputs of a natural language processing (NLP) framework.

Development and validation of an imageless machine-learning algorithm for the initial screening of prostate cancer.

The Prostate
PURPOSE: Prostate specific antigen (PSA) testing is a low-cost screening method for prostate cancer (PCa). However, its accuracy is limited. While progress is being made using medical imaging for PCa screening, PSA testing can still be improved as an...

Integrating radiological and clinical data for clinically significant prostate cancer detection with machine learning techniques.

Scientific reports
In prostate cancer (PCa), risk calculators have been proposed, relying on clinical parameters and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) enable early prediction of clinically significant cancer (CsPCa). The prostate imaging-reporting and data system (PI-RA...
