Prostate Cancer: Role of Pretreatment Multiparametric 3-T MRI in Predicting Biochemical Recurrence After Radical Prostatectomy

Abstract

The apparent tumor presence on combined T2WI, DWI, and DCE-MRI of pretreatment MRI is an independent predictor of biochemical recurrence after RP. This finding may be used to construct a predictive model for biochemical recurrence after surgery.
