Deep Dive with Experts in Prostate Cancer: Integrated Diagnosis

 

Webinar | June 5th 2025

13h WET/14h CET/15h EET

Join us for an insightful webinar on the integrated diagnosis of prostate cancer, a disease affecting over 1.4 million men annually and contributing to around 375,000 deaths each year. With advancements in early detection, survival rates have significantly improved, with nearly 98% of men surviving five years post-diagnosis.


In this session, we will explore the critical role of integrated diagnostic strategies, including epidemiology, clinical assessment, laboratory tests, and advanced imaging techniques. We will also dive into the importance of accurate staging and how imaging options can enhance diagnosis, guiding treatment decisions.

Don't miss this opportunity to learn about comprehensive approaches to prostate cancer detection, ensuring better patient outcomes and personalized care. Together, we can deepen our understanding and improve the lives of those affected by this common yet complex disease.

Expected Education Outcomes

  • To understand the clinical indications for each diagnostic modality, including pros & cons of each modality in prostate cancer, according to different clinical scenarios.
  • To understand the role of MRI in the diagnostic pathway and the importance of pre-operative prostate MRI.
  • To know which findings the radiologists must assess for clinical decision-making
  • To become familiarised with the key updates on the prostate MRI findings, including:
    • − Standardized Interpretation in prostate MRI assessment
    − Recognizing Changes – Understanding refinements in transition zone (TZ) and peripheral zone (PZ) lesion scoring
    − DWI & ADC Emphasis – Emphasizing the role of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) in lesion characterization.
    − Integration with clinical data
    − In bore biopsy
    − Avoiding Pitfalls
    • The impact of identifying and communicating findings in prostate cancer on patient management.
    • The role of the radiologist as a central contributor for achieving best practices in the clinical care pathway and the added-value of communication within multidisciplinary teams.
