Description

This phase II trial study is about how multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) works in evaluating cancer stages and helping treatment planning in patients with prostate cancer. Multiparametric MRI may help assess the type of cancer in finding aggressive disease. Patients undergo mpMRI within three months before a scheduled surgery. After completion of the study, patients are followed up until radical prostatectomy pathology is reported and finalized.
