One‐step TNM staging of high‐risk prostate cancer using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI): Toward an upfront simplified “all‐in‐one” imaging approach?

Abstract

AJCC M and N staging using wbMRI is feasible during the same imaging session as mpMRI performed for T staging, in less then one hour. wbMRI outperforms BS ± TXR and abdomino-pelvic CT work up for discriminating subsets of patients with or without distant spread of the cancer.
