A member asked:
Does an mri show significant scar tissue and detect cancer cells in prostate?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes,: an MRI tailored for prostate evaluation can detect cancers(masses, not individual cells which are too small to resolve) and other abnormalities. Biopsy would be necessary for confirmation of a cancer diagnosis.
