MRI-first strategy for prostate cancer detection proves to be safe, study finds

ScienceDaily

Another option is to use magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to search for signs of a tumor before deciding whether a biopsy is necessary, reserving biopsies only for cases where abnormalities are detected. Researchers at conducted a study to determine whether this MRI-first approach is safe over the long term.
