Molecular Imaging and Prostate Cancer Webinar
In this patient-focused webinar, Dr. Steve Cho explains how molecular imaging can be used for diagnosis and staging of prostate cancer.
To aid in diagnosis and treatment, doctors use molecular imaging to:
- determine the exact location of a tumor, the extent or stage of the disease, and whether the cancer has spread in the body
- plan treatment by selecting the most effective therapy based on the unique molecular properties of the disease and of the patient’s genetic makeup
- determine the patient’s response to specific drugs and ongoing therapy. Based on changes in cellular activity observed on PET-CT images, treatment plans can be quickly altered
