Radical prostatectomy patients will undergo an MRI prior to their scheduled surgery. Ex vivo imaging will be done on prostates once removed. Results from the final pathology with be compared with results of imaging to determine the accuracy of the image analysis in cancer localization and staging.
Brachytherapy patients will undergo an MRI prior to their scheduled procedure. Two areas of suspected cancer and two areas without suspected cancer will be prospectively identified based on the MRI imaging. At the time of brachytherapy, transrectal needle biopsies will be obtained from the previously identified areas. The needle cores will be reviewed by study pathologist to determine the accuracy of the image analysis in cancer localization and staging.
