MR Imaging-Guided Prostate Cancer Therapies.

ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½

Abstract

Prostate cancer is the most common malignancy diagnosed in men. MR imaging-guided therapies for prostate cancer have become an increasingly common treatment alternative to traditional whole-gland therapies, such as radical prostatectomy or radiation therapy. This is especially true in men with localized, low- to intermediate-risk prostate cancer. Although long-term oncologic data remain limited, the authors describe several MR imaging-guided therapeutic options for the treatment of prostate cancer, including cryoablation, laser ablation, transrectal high-intensity focused ultrasound, and transurethral ultrasound ablation.
