Abstract:
A correct staging of clinically localized prostate cancer should nowadays consist of: digital rectal examination (DRE) (+/- -transrectal ultrasound [TRUS]) bone scan abdominal computed tomography or body coil magnetic resonance imaging (+/- laparoscopic lymph node dissection according to the PSA level) endorectal surface coil MR imaging (if available) The above-mentioned methods are discussed with preference to the new technology of endorectal surface coil magnetic resonance imaging (E-MRI) of the prostate.
