Most useful imaging for treatment decision options
Prostate Cancer | Last Active: 4 days ago | Replies (7)Comment receiving replies
My MRI was done in April of "22". My biopsy, which was random 12 core type, was done in December "25" after 4 years of active surveillance. Biopsy showed two 3+4 cores with 40% in one and 70% in the other. No other concerning traits, decipher .38 . It seems an updated MRI may be helpful to get a current picture of prostate status. There is always some question how many artifacts interfere with reading imaging with my hip implants, but they have gotten better at that now I believe.

With two 3+4 cores, I would 100% get an updated MRI.
However, more important for me would be finding a great cancer center and great Doctors.
I cannot imagine going to my Radiation Oncologist and Urologist/Surgeon, without an updated MRI. It is a critical piece of information. MRI and Biopsy are both part of foundational info.
If you do not feel very comfortable with your medical team, search out true experts.
My L4-S1 lumbar fusion, with two rods and six screws, has not been an issue with Prostate MRI’s.
