Post-treatment MRI aspects of photodynamic therapy for prostate cancer

Conclusions We illustrate specific post-treatment MRI aspects at early and late follow-up with pathological correlations. Teaching points • Dynamic phototherapy is a new and promising focal therapy for prostate cancer. • One-week MRI shows increased volume of the treated lobe and large, homogeneous necrosis area. • Six-month MRI shows significant changes of the prostate shape and signal. • Six-month MRI becomes “base line” appearance for further follow-up or monitoring.
