Proposal for magnetic resonance imaging-guided salvage radiotherapy for prostate cancer.

CONCLUSION: MRI detects loco-regional disease in a substantial subset of patients with a biochemical recurrence after prostatectomy, especially in a PSA above 0.5 μg/l. Lack of MRI-based dose escalation on these macroscopic recurrences could explain some of the biochemical progression observed after SRT.
