    A mobile screening unit detected high rates of benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) and prostate cancer in men over 55. This technology shows promise for preventative medicine in Japan.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Preventative Medicine
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Prostatic diseases, including benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) and prostate cancer, are significant health concerns for aging males.
    • Early detection and screening are crucial for effective management and improved patient outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the effectiveness of a mobile screening unit utilizing transrectal ultrasonotomography for detecting prostatic diseases.
    • To assess the prevalence of benign prostatic hypertrophy and prostate cancer in males over 55 years of age in Japan.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a mobile unit for mass screening of prostatic disease using transrectal ultrasonotomography.
    • Screening of 1,396 males aged 55 years and older.

    Main Results:

    • A high detection rate of 33.2% for benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) was observed.
    • Eight cases (0.6%) of prostate cancer were detected.
    • The screening unit demonstrated a high detection rate for both BPH and prostate cancer.

    Conclusions:

    • The mobile transrectal ultrasonotomography unit is a valuable tool for mass screening of prostatic diseases.
    • The high detection rates suggest significant utility in preventative medicine programs for prostatic conditions in Japan.
