[Dynamic magnetic resonance prostatovesiculography in diagnosing prostatic cancer]

Dynamic MR prostatovesiculography (DMRP) is a new method of prostatic cancer diagnosis based on the ability of cancer tissue to accumulate contrast substance (omniscan) than benign tissue. Urologists from the I.M. Sechenov Moscow Medical Academy have examined 23 patients (5 patients with prostatic cancer and 18 suspects) who have undergone standard investigations (test for PSA, finger rectal examination, transrectal ultrasound investigation) and DMRP. DMRP detected prostatic areas suspected of malignancy. Taking biopsy from such areas verified diagnosis of prostatic cancer in 2 patients.
