    "This is the first study to show that MRI detection and measurement of the spread of prostate cancer outside the capsule of the prostate is an important factor in determining outcome for men scheduled to undergo radiation therapy," said study co-author Fergus V. Coakley, M.D., professor of radiology and urology, vice chair for clinical services and section chief of abdominal imaging in the Department of Radiology at University of California, San Francisco.
    ...
    Dr. Coakley and colleagues sought to determine if MRI findings prior to radiation therapy were an indicator of possible recurrence and spread.

    "Patients with substantial extracapsular spread of prostate cancer may wish to discuss options for more aggressive therapy with their treating physicians," Dr. Coakley said.

    MRI could do a much better job in this setting, according to coauthor Dr. Fergus V. Coakley, a professor of radiology and urology at the University of California, San Francisco.

    "This is the first study to show that MRI detection and measurement of the spread of prostate cancer outside the capsule of the prostate is an important factor in determining outcome for men scheduled to undergo radiation therapy," Coakley said.

    Coakley and colleagues retrospectively analyzed images from 80 men with prostate cancer who had an MR scan before undergoing external-beam radiation therapy.
    ...
    According to Coakley, an important question raised by the study is whether every patient planning to undergo external-beam radiation therapy for prostate cancer should have endorectal MRI.There is a good argument that the information provided by MRI is prognostically useful and may influence therapy.

    The reality, however, is that the technology and interpretive expertise required are still not widely available and that reimbursement policies by third-party payers vary.Larger and more systematic prospective multicenter trials may help elucidate the true role and utility of endorectal MRI in this setting, he said.

    "The decision to use such advanced imaging should be discussed with the patient by his treating physicians, with acknowledgment of local practice and insurance coverage issues," Coakley said.
