Multiparametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Active Surveillance of Prostate Cancer
Active surveillance has gained popularity as an acceptable management option for men with low-risk prostate cancer. Successful utilization of this strategy can delay or prevent unnecessary interventions - thereby reducing morbidity associated with overtreatment. The usefulness of active surveillance primarily depends on correct identification of patients with low-risk disease. However, current ...
متن کاملبررسی ارزش Diffusion Weighted Imaging در تصاویر MRI برای تشخیص سرطان پروستات
Background: Prostate cancer is the third leading cause of death and is the most common cause of cancer in elderly men. Regarding to the low accuracy of screening methods such as prostate-specific antigen (PSA), Digital Rectal Examination (DRE) and trans rectal ultrasound (TRUS) in detection and localization of tumor, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Diffusion Weighted Imaging (DWI) attracte...
متن کاملSignal Intensity of High B-value Diffusion-weighted Imaging for the Detection of Prostate Cancer
Background: Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is a main component of multiparametric MRI for prostate cancer detection. Recently, high b value DWI has gained more attention because of its capability for tumor characterization. Objective: To assess based on histopathological findings of transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)-guided prostate biopsy as a reference, an...
متن کاملHow to Perform and Interpret Prostate Mri
Initially, the role of MRI for assessment of prostate cancer was limited to staging patients with biopsy proven disease. However, along with the expansion of treatment options for prostate cancer and advances in MR technology (software, hardware, and 3T), clinical applications of prostate MRI now include detection, localization, active surveillance, and image guidance for biopsy and surgery. Tr...
متن کاملPSA Screening in Prostate Cancer
Introduction: Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in Iranian men. PSA(prostate specific antigen) screening is a controversial issue because PSA screening leads to diagnose of patients with low risk prostate cancer who not only do not benefit from treatment but also suffer from complication caused by treatment. On the other hand, without prostate cancer screening, the rate of meta...
