The numbers of patients diagnosed with prostate cancers is increasing due to the widespread application of prostate-specific antigen screening and subsequent prostate biopsies. The methods of systemic administration of therapeutics are not target-specific and thus cannot efficiently destroy prostate tumour cells while simultaneously sparing the surrounding normal tissues and organs. Recent advances in imaging-guided minimally invasive therapeutic techniques offer considerable potential for the effective management of prostate cancers. An objective understanding of the feasibility, effectiveness, morbidity, and deficiencies of these interventional techniques is essential for both clinical practice and scientific progress. This review presents the recent advances in imaging-guided interventional techniques for the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancers.
由于前列腺特异性抗原筛查和随后的前列腺活检的广泛应用，被诊断为前列腺癌的患者数量正在增加。系统给药的方法不是针对特定目标的，因此不能有效地破坏前列腺肿瘤细胞，同时又能保护周围的正常组织和器官。成像引导的微创治疗技术的最新进展为前列腺癌的有效治疗提供了巨大的潜力。客观地了解这些介入技术的可行性、有效性、发病率和缺陷对于临床实践和科学进步都是至关重要的。本文综述了成像引导介入技术在前列腺癌诊断和治疗中的最新进展。
