Pretreatment multiparametric MRI is independently associated with biochemical outcome in men treated with radiation therapy for prostate cancer.
CONCLUSIONS: Pre-treatment mpMRI findings are strongly associated with biochemical outcomes in a modern cohort of intermediate and high-risk patients treated with primary radiotherapy. mpMRI may aid risk stratification beyond clinical risk factors in men treated with radiation therapy; further study is warranted to better understand how mpMRI can be used to individualize therapy.
