PROSTATE CANCER DIAGNOSIS IN 2019 - CHANGES IN EUROPEAN GUIDELINES AND IMPACT ON DAILY PRACTICE

Igor Tomašković et al. Acta Clin Croat. 2019 Nov.

Abstract

Changes in the diagnostic pathway for prostate cancer advised in the most recent Guidelines of the European Association of Urology bring many endeavors for everyday practice. Availability, costs and radiological expertise are still representing a challenge for the adoption of these guidelines in everyday clinical practice. In this article we discuss the current situation regarding these issues and future options.

Keywords: Guidelines; Multiparametric Magnetic Resonance; Prostate Cancer.
