The role of MRI for detection and staging of radio- and focal therapy-recurrent prostate cancer

Henk van der Poel et al. World J Urol. 2019 Aug.

Abstract

Local recurrent prostate cancer after radical treatment is found in the majority of men with a rising PSA. Salvage treatment procedures for recurrent disease, such as radiation therapy and ablative procedures, can provide long-term responses in well-selected cases. Prostate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) allows diagnosis and staging, and the value provides information on treatment selection, treatment planning and treatment guidance in local recurrent prostate cancer.
