Diffusion-Weighted and Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced MRI of Prostate Cancer: Correlation of Quantitative MR Parameters With Gleason Score and Tumor Angiogenesis

Key Points

Abstract

There is a moderate correlation between ADC values and Gleason score and between k(ep) and microvessel density of prostate cancer. Although the strength of the correlations is insufficient for immediate diagnostic utility, these results warrant further investigation on the potential of multiparametric MRI to facilitate noninvasive assessment of prostate cancer aggressiveness and angiogenesis.
