3 Prostate and what it does

4 Prostate cancer stats 1 Over 1M biopsies 240,000 new prostate cancer cases Likely double by 2025 Great many negative biopsies 30,000 deaths >90% long term DFS w/ early stage disease Local control is quite effective Quality of life matters the most 1 Jemal et al. Cancer statistics, CA Cancer J. Clin. (2010)

5 Standard of care: TRUS biopsy Cancers as large as a sugar cube may be missed

6 Why MRI? No ionizing radiation High soft-tissue contrast High resolution imaging True 3D volumetric imaging Multi-parametric imaging T1/T2 weighting, Functional, Diffusion, Flow, Temperature, Oxygenation, Can provide real-time imaging capabilities MRI TRUS
