How does MRI diagnose prostate cancer?

Prostate cancer is usually diagnosed by MRI.

Prostate cancer is a malignant tumor caused by malignant hyperplasia of prostate epithelial cells. MRI can show low signal intensity on T1WI and low signal intensity on T2WI. MRI can also evaluate the spread of prostate cancer and evaluate the tumor stage. However, MRI cannot determine whether the tumor is benign or malignant, so it cannot diagnose prostate cancer. Patients need to further improve prostate biopsy, which is the gold standard for diagnosis of prostate cancer. Prostate cancer can be diagnosed if cancer cells are found in pathological tissue.

Patients need to maintain an optimistic attitude and choose surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, etc. according to tumor stage to improve prognosis.
