Current role of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging in the management of prostate cancer.

The purpose of this review was to evaluate the current role of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mp-MRI) in the management of prostate cancer (PC). The diagnosis of PC remains controversial owing to overdetection of indolent disease, which leads to overtreatment and subsequent patient harm. mp-MRI has the potential to equilibrate the imbalance between detection and treatment.

Placenta percreta with urinary tract involvement: the case for a multidisciplinary approach.

Objectives: To reduce the complications associated with placenta percreta (PP) by adequate preoperative planning with a multidisciplinary team. PP is a rare and potentially morbid condition of pregnancy, particularly if the urinary tract is involved. Cesarean delivery and hysterectomy are typically required to reduce the pelvic hemorrhage, placing the urinary tract at risk.
