[Use of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging in t-staging of prostate cancer: a multicenter study].

Aim: The study aimed to analyze the diagnostic performance of preoperative multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mp-MRI) in the staging of prostate cancer (PCa) versus postoperative histological examination and determine the most sensitive pulse sequence from the mp-MRI protocol in estimating the local extent of PCa.

Materials And Methods: The study comprised 112 men aged 52 to 84 years with a morphologically verified diagnosis of prostate cancer. All patients underwent pelvic mp-MRI before radical prostatectomy (RPE) no earlier than six weeks after the prostate biopsy.
