MRI May Improve Prostate Cancer Monitoring

Volume tracking and longitudinal imaging may enhance assessment of progression during active surveillance.

Share

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is crucial for monitoring prostate cancer during active surveillance, proving more accurate than traditional PSA testing and biopsies. MRI aids in detecting structural changes in tumors, particularly higher-grade disease, and should be interpreted in context with clinical factors. Researchers advocate shifting from diameter measurement to volume assessment as a better indicator of tumor burden, emphasizing the importance of consistency in technique. The PRECISE scoring system offers a standardized reporting framework, but combining it with volumetric data enhances clinical interpretation.
