Diagnosis of prostate capsular invasion by pelvic magnetic resonance imaging and serum level of prostate specific antigen
Transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS), computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are employed to diagnose the clinical stage of prostate cancer. However, several cases are diagnosed as pathological stage pT3 after total prostatectomy. We investigated the accuracy of the evaluation...

| Résumé: | Transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS), computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are employed to diagnose the clinical stage of prostate cancer. However, several cases are diagnosed as pathological stage pT3 after total prostatectomy. We investigated the accuracy of the evaluation of pathologic capsular penetration by preoperative pelvic MRI and preoperative serum PSA level and capsular penetration. The diagnostic accuracy of capsular penetration by MRI was 63.3%. On the other hand, the diagnostic accuracy of capsular penetration by preoperative PSA was 89.7% when its cut off value was 17 ng/ml. We conclude that preoperative serum PSA level could be more useful to diagnose accurately stage of prostate cancer than pelvic MRI |
