Relationship between Apparent Diffusion Coefficients at 3.0-T MR Imaging and Gleason Grade in Peripheral Zone Prostate Cancer

TLDR
ADCs at 3.0 T showed an inverse relationship to Gleason grades in peripheral zone prostate cancer and a high discriminatory performance was achieved in the differentiation of low-, intermediate-, and high-grade cancer.
Abstract
Apparent diffusion coefficients determined with diffusion-weighted MR imaging at 3.0 T may be a potentially useful biomarker for prostate cancer aggressiveness.

PI-RADS Prostate Imaging - Reporting and Data System: 2015, Version 2

TL;DR: The Prostate Imaging - Reporting and Data System Version 2 (PI-RADS™ v2) simplifies and standardizes terminology and content of reports, and provides assessment categories that summarize levels of suspicion or risk of clinically significant prostate cancer that can be used to assist selection of patients for biopsies and management.

Prostate Cancer: Multiparametric MR Imaging for Detection, Localization, and Staging

TL;DR: Suggestions for a general minimal protocol for multiparametric MR imaging of the prostate based on the literature and the authors' experience are presented and support techniques, such as computer-aided diagnosis, are needed to obtain a fast, cost-effective, easy, and more reproducible prostate cancer diagnosis.

Diffusion-Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging as a Cancer Biomarker: Consensus and Recommendations

TL;DR: DW-MRI should be tested as an imaging biomarker in the context of well-defined clinical trials, by adding DW-MRI to existing NCI-sponsored trials, particularly those with tissue sampling or survival indicators, and standards for measurement, analysis, and display are needed.

Histologic grading of prostate cancer: A perspective

TL;DR: The predictive success of grading suggests that prostate cancers have more or less fixed degrees of malignancy and growth rates (a hypothesis of "biologic determinism") rather than a steady increase inmalignancy with time.

Prediction of progression following radical prostatectomy : A multivariate analysis of 721 men with long-term follow-up

TL;DR: Using the actuarial curves within this study, physicians will be able to more accurately determine a patient's risk of progression following radical prostatectomy based on a combination of the radical prostateCTomy Gleason score, extent of capsular penetration, and status of surgical margins of resection.

Combined T2-Weighted and Diffusion-Weighted MRI for Localization of Prostate Cancer

TL;DR: Combined T2 and DWI MRI is better than T2 imaging alone in the detection of significant cancer within the peripheral zone of the prostate.
