Online Oncology Days | Day 5 | Prostate Cancer
Trends in Diagnosis and Follow-up
Prostate cancer is the second most common type of cancer in men. For all men with elevated PSA and clinical suspicion of prostate cancer, MRI has transformed the diagnostic pathway with a frontline position before prostate biopsies (1). The superior sensitivity of MRI also complements the ultrasound-guided biopsy in an innovative fusion technique to target a suspicious lesion and shortening your procedure time. Our speakers will share all the newest developments in the exciting field of prostate cancer together with the benefits of our technology in this field.
