Changes in Epithelium, Stroma, and Lumen Space Correlate More Strongly with Gleason Pattern and Are Stronger Predictors of Prostate ADC Changes than Cellularity Metrics

Abstract

Differences in the gland compartment volumes of prostate tissue having distinct diffusivities, rather than changes in the conventionally cited "cellularity" metrics, are likely to be the major contributor to clinically observed variations of ADC in prostate tissue.
