Early diagnosis and staging of prostate cancer

The need for accurate methods of ascertaining the malignant potential of any given man's prostate cancer has never been greater than it is today. The presenters at the session of the 13th International Prostate Cancer Update addressing early diagnosis and staging of disease discussed combined-modality staging of disease; color Doppler imaging for detection of cancer; pelvic lymphadenectomy as a diagnostic tool; and a new, artificial intelligence-based model to predict survival. A summary of these presentations is provided here.
