Effect of Preoperative Multiparametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging on Oncologic and Functional Outcomes Following Radical Prostatectomy

ABSTRACT: Take Home Message Positive surgical margin status, biochemical recurrence-free survival, and 1-yr postoperative 26-item Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite functional domain scores were similar regardless of whether computed tomography or multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging was used preoperatively to guide surgical planning for the treatment of localized prostate cancer.

Background

Advancements in imaging technology have been associated with changes to operative planning in treatment of localized prostate cancer. The impact of these changes on postoperative outcomes is understudied.

Objective

To compare oncologic and functional outcomes between men who had computed tomography (CT) and those who had multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) prior to un
