Evaluation of apparent diffusion coefficient and MR volumetry as independent associative factors for extra‐prostatic extension (EPE) in prostatic carcinoma

Abstract

BACKGROUND: To assess mean apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and MR-derived tumor volume (Vt) as associative factors for extra-prostatic extension (EPE) in prostate cancer (PCa). METHODS: With institutional review board approval, 73 consecutive patients diagnosed with PCa at trans-rectal ultrasound biopsy underwent preoperative multi-parametric (T2W+DWI+DCE) 3 Tesla MRI before radical prostatectomy between 2012 and 2014; 52% (38/73) patients …
