Abstract

Prostate cancer is the most common male malignant tumor in Germany, which thus places growing demands on differentiated imaging and risk-adapted therapeutic approaches. Multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) of the prostate enables reliable detection of clinically significant cancers and is currently the leading imaging modality for the detection, characterization, and local staging of prostate cancer. According to the German S3 guideline, mpMRI of the prostate is currently primarily recommended in patients with previous negative TRUS biopsies and persisting tumor suspicion. The serial use of mpMRI in the pretherapeutic setting can support individual therapy planning of patients with locally advanced prostate cancer in the near future.
