Metabolic Imaging of Patients with Prostate Cancer Using Hyperpolarized [1-13C]Pyruvate

TL;DR: This first-in-man imaging study evaluated the safety and feasibility of hyperpolarized [1-13C]pyruvate as an agent for noninvasively characterizing alterations in tumor metabolism for patients with prostate cancer and showed elevated levels of lactate, alanine, and bicarbonate in regions of biopsy-proven cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Three-dimensional H-1 MR spectroscopic imaging of the in situ human prostate with high (0.24-0.7-cm3) spatial resolution.

TL;DR: The results suggest that a 3D MRSI examination added to a clinical MR imaging examination may help define the presence and spatial extent of prostate cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prostate cancer: localization with three-dimensional proton MR spectroscopic imaging--clinicopathologic study.

TL;DR: The addition of 3D MR spectroscopic imaging to MR imaging provides better detection and localization of prostate cancer in a sextant of the prostate than does use of MR imaging alone.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hyperpolarized 13C Lactate, Pyruvate, and Alanine: Noninvasive Biomarkers for Prostate Cancer Detection and Grading

TL;DR: Elevated hyperpolarized lactate and potentially THC and alanine are noninvasive biomarkers of prostate cancer presence and histologic grade that could be used in future three-dimensional (13)C spectroscopic imaging studies of prostatecancer patients.
