Abstract

A Case of Prostate Cancer Recurrence in the Bladder Wall after Radical Prostatectomy: The Role of Diffusion-Weighted and Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Highlights

  • Prostate carcinoma (PCa) is one of the most common cancers in males

  • The authors report a case of prostate cancer recurrence in the bladder wall after radical prostatectomy studied by magnetic resonance imaging with diffusion weighted and dynamic contrast-enhanced sequences

  • The apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and the Time-Intensity (T-I) curves have been used to characterize tumor tissue.Multiparametric endorectal-MRI plays an important role in evaluating pelvic regions for the detection of local recurrence after radical prostatectomy and can improve therapeutic planning in the case of “salvage” therapy
