ENDORECTAL MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING STAGING OF PROSTATE CANCER

Background:  There are important treatment and prognostic implications in distinguishing between organ‐confined prostate cancer that has spread locally outside the capsule and that which has spread into the seminal vesicles. This study is the first Australian study to report local accuracy for the locoregional staging of prostate cancer with endorectal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
