| Article Title: | Genitourinary cancer: The potential role of imaging |
| Abstract: | Imaging is an essential part of the management of patients with genitourinary cancers. Imaging is necessary for diagnosis, treatment selection and planning, applying minimally invasive image-guided techniques, assessment of response to treatment, and post-treatment follow-up. With advances in technology, imaging now comprises far more than descriptive anatomy. In the next decade anatomic, functional and molecular imaging information will increasingly be combined to achieve more accurate disease characterization and better patient care. In this review we present standard as well as some new imaging methods used in patients with kidney and prostate cancer. |
