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.
