El uso de la Resonancia Magnética Multiparamétrica en el diagnóstico de cáncer de próstata

Abstract

We present the clinical, laboratory and multiparametric MRI characteristics of patients diagnosed with prostate cancer in patients in a private health institution in Lima. An observational, retrospective study was conducted in outpatients who were admitted for study by prostate-specific antigen tests, MRI and transrectal ultrasound-guided biopsy results during the months of March to May 2022, with a positive diagnosis for prostate cancer. The analysis was performed with SPSS software version 25.0. It was observed that the median age was 64 years, having a PIRADS value greater than 4 as a greater probability of risk of prostate cancer, likewise the increase of each PSA point there is a greater risk of 11.6% of probability of presenting the pathology and this increases with the use of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging.
