The added value of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) for the detection, localization, and staging of primary prostate cancer has been extensively reported in original studies and meta-analyses. More recently, DW-MRI and related techniques have been used to noninvasively assess prostate cancer aggressiveness and estimate its biological behavior. The present article aims to summarize the potential applications of DW-MRI for noninvasive optimization of pretherapeutic risk assessment, patient management decisions, and evaluation of treatment response.
扩散加权磁共振成像(DW-MRI)在原发性前列腺癌的检测、定位和分期方面的附加价值已在原始研究和荟萃分析中得到广泛报道。最近,DW-MRI 及相关技术已被用于非侵入性评估前列腺癌的侵袭性,并估计其生物学行为。本文旨在总结 DW-MRI 在非侵入性优化治疗前风险评估、患者管理决策和治疗反应评估方面的潜在应用。
