When to Biopsy the Seminal Vesicles: A Validated Multiparametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Target Driven Model to Detect Seminal Vesicle Invasion of Prostate Cancer

摘要

Purpose: Current imaging and biopsy practices offer limited insight into pre-operative detection of seminal vesicle invasion despite the implications for treatment decisions and patient prognoses. We identified magnetic resonance imaging features to assess the risk of seminal vesicle invasion and inform the inclusion of seminal vesicle sampling during biopsy.
