Article Title: The importance of MRI evaluation in the preoperative work-up of prostate cancer
Abstract: Background: A 59-year-old man on exogenous androgen therapy presented with a clinically palpable prostate nodule confined to one lobe on endorectal examination. Serum prostate-specific antigen was 3.4 ng/ml. Bone scintigraphy and baseline CT were reportedly negative. Investigations: Physical examination, laboratory evaluation, endorectal MRI of the prostate, cystoscopy and biopsy. Diagnosis: Poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma of the prostate, with invasion of the urinary bladder. Management: Neoadjuvant hormonal therapy, followed by radiation. © 2005 Nature Publishing Group.
