It is well established that advances in imaging may lead to early cancer detection, more accurate tumour staging and consequently adequate treatment, better monitoring of the disease and enhanced surveillance for recurrences after treatment. This manuscript reviews the current use of imaging in genitourinary cancer and explores the impact of imaging findings in clinical management. Additionally, an effort has been made to present the emerging imaging modalities and also their possible role in diagnosis and treatment of these cancers.
众所周知,成像技术的进步可能会带来癌症的早期检测、更准确的肿瘤分期,从而实现充分治疗、更好地监测疾病以及加强对治疗后复发情况的监测。本文综述了目前成像技术在泌尿生殖系统癌症中的应用,并探讨了成像结果对临床管理的影响。此外,还努力介绍了新兴的成像模式及其在这些癌症诊断和治疗中的可能作用。
