As I always told you in the beginning related to the prostate cancer, thing that I have mentioned to is, this disease more likely limited in aggressiveness. The patient&#8217;s pathogenesis will begin with a rising <a href=\"https:\/\/drsoaraweeurology.com\/2020\/05\/21\/psa-test\/\">Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) blood test from the medical health checkup program<\/a> that handled to Urology clinic to discuss about the pros and the cons of the definite tissue biopsy, and then make a diagnosis of prostate cancer. The question is do all prostate cancer&#8217;s patients need to do the evaluation and diagnosis? The answer is probably &#8220;not&#8221;! I&#8217;m going to show you the evidence-based data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\"

Take care!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have an elevated PSA and would like MRI prostate evaluation before considering biopsy, Dr. Soarawee Weerasopone offers specialist consultations at Bangkok Hospital Headquarters. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bangkokhospital.com\/en\/bangkok\/doctor\/dr-soarawee-weerasopone-2\">Book a Consultation<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently Asked Questions about MRI Prostate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is an MRI prostate used for?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An MRI prostate is a non-invasive imaging tool used to evaluate the prostate gland in men with elevated PSA levels. It helps urologists identify suspicious areas that may indicate aggressive prostate cancer and decide whether a biopsy is necessary, reducing unnecessary invasive procedures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How accurate is MRI prostate in detecting cancer?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">MRI prostate has up to 90% accuracy in identifying non-aggressive prostate cancer. When cancer is suspected, targeting the biopsy using MRI guidance improves the positive biopsy rate to up to 70%, compared to only 30% without MRI guidance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can MRI prostate replace prostate biopsy?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No, MRI prostate cannot fully replace biopsy. If MRI shows highly suspicious findings for aggressive cancer, a biopsy is still required to confirm the diagnosis. However, MRI can help avoid unnecessary biopsies in cases where cancer appears non-aggressive, resulting in a 51% reduction in unnecessary biopsies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the disadvantages of MRI prostate?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">MRI prostate is more expensive than standard ultrasound. In some cases, an endorectal coil must be inserted into the rectum to improve image quality, which can be uncomfortable. It is also not a definitive diagnostic test \u2014 a biopsy is still needed when findings are inconclusive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who should consider getting an MRI prostate?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Men with elevated PSA levels, an abnormal digital rectal examination, or a previous negative biopsy but ongoing clinical suspicion for prostate cancer are the best candidates for MRI prostate. Your urologist will assess your individual situation and recommend the most appropriate imaging strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Disclaimer:<\/strong> This content is written and reviewed by Dr. Soarawee Weerasopone, a board-certified urologist at Bangkok Hospital Headquarters.
