Synopsis
This abstract focuses on the development of an imaging assay based on multiparametric MRI and sodium (23Na) MRI to discriminate between low- and high-grade prostate cancer (PCa) lesions, using Gleason grade defined by whole-mount histopathology as the gold standard and PET targeting the prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) as a validation. Data from the first patient (Gleason score 7) demonstrates that PSMA-PET may be superior in detecting PCa lesions in the transition zone and distant metastases while the sensitivity of the current 23Na radiofrequency system in this study is limited to lesions in the peripheral zone of the prostate.
