Is dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging ( DCE-MRI ) a useful modality for the precise detection and staging of early prostate cancer?
DCE-MRI can identify early stage Cap with high sensitivity and specificity, and can predict the histological grade to some extent. DCE-MRI prior to biopsy should be applied to younger patients with surgical indications. Otherwise, we recommend the definitive diagnosis of Cap by utilizing DCE-MRI alone.
Non- or time-limited clamping techniques are associated with preservation of renal function in the elective indications setting of NSS.
