Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopic Imaging Study of Prostatic Fats to Distinguish the Difference Between High and Low Risk Prostate Cancer
Completed
Conditions studied: Prostate Cancer
In brief
A prostate cancer diagnosis starts a list of events that often leads to fast-moving treatment, thought by many to result in vast over-treatment of this disease. So, discovery of different diagnostic methods that allow clinicians to identify slow-growing from potentially fast-growing disease prior to or at the time of prostate biopsy could result in early and suitable treatment for men at greatest risk, while greatly decreasing the number of biopsies, surgical procedures, hormonal and chemotherapeutic treatments, cost, and patient worry, for those with more slow-growing disease.
