Expert Discusses Improving MRI Testing for Prostate Cancer

Andrew Vickers, PhD, attending research methodologist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, discusses improving MRI testing for patients with prostate cancer.

A challenge that remains is to improve MRI testing even further, says Vickers. If it can improved it to the level of which it has a high and consistent negative value then it could be used in routine care.

Risk stratification before MRI is another idea that is being investigated, states Vickers.
