Prostate Cancer: What Men Need to Know & Significant Improvements in Prostate Cancer Imaging

Men, this one’s for you. Prostate cancer comes with many dichotomies. It can be highly curable but highly aggressive. It’s simple to detect with PSA but challenging to visualize. That is, until today. Until recently, all doctors had was the PSA test, which provided an ominous sign that a patient had developed prostate cancer or that their cancer had recurred. It helped detect prostate cancer but couldn’t locate prostate cancer.

Recent advances in prostate cancer imaging and diagnosis could help men and their prostate cancer physicians understand more about the extent and location of the disease, i.e., what they’re fighting and where it is. This allows for more informed treatment decisions.
