In India, prostate cancer has an incidence rate of 3.9 per 100,000 men and is responsible for 9% of cancer-related mortality. It is the only malignancy that is diagnosed with an apparently blind technique, i.e., transrectal sextant biopsy. With increasing numbers of high-Tesla magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) equipment being installed in India, the radiologist needs to be cognizant about endorectal MRI and multiparametric imaging for prostate cancer. In this review article, we aim to highlight the utility of multiparamteric MRI in prostate cancer. It plays a crucial role, mainly in initial staging, restaging, and post-treatment follow-up.
在印度,前列腺癌的发病率为每10万名男性中有3.9例,占癌症相关死亡率的9%。它是唯一一种通过一种明显盲目性的技术(即经直肠六分区活检)进行诊断的恶性肿瘤。随着印度越来越多的高场强磁共振成像(MRI)设备投入使用,放射科医生需要了解前列腺癌的直肠内MRI和多参数成像。在这篇综述文章中,我们旨在强调多参数MRI在前列腺癌中的应用价值。它主要在初始分期、再分期及治疗后随访中发挥关键作用。
