Abstract

To evaluate the accuracy of MR imaging of the prostate with an endorectal surface coil in determining presence, localization, volume, and local stage of prostate carcinoma. MR images of 34 patients with biopsy-proven cancer were correlated retrospectively with the histologic mappings of radical prostatectomy specimens. The volume and number of tumor lesions of MR images were calculated and compared with the surgical specimens used as the gold standard. Tumor stage based on MR imaging was compared with the pathologic stage according to the TNM classification. Predictive values were calculated separately for all lesions and for the lesions correctly localized with MR imaging. MR imaging correctly depicted the location of 67% of the tumors. Twenty percent of the lesions depicted by MR imaging appeared to be false-positive errors. The tumors that were missed were located centrally and ventrally in the prostate. Tumor volume as shown by MR imaging was within a 25% range of the actual tumor volume in 10 cases, overestimated in 16 cases, and underestimated in eight cases. Histopathology showed capsular penetration in 12 of 34 patients (35%) and in 14 of 52 lesions (27%). Sensitivity, specificity, and positive predictive values were 43...Continue Reading

Cajal Bodies & Gems

Cajal bodies or coiled bodies are dense foci of coilin protein. Gemini of Cajal bodies, or gems, are microscopically similar to Cajal bodies. It is believed that Cajal bodies play important roles in RNA processing while gems assist the Cajal bodies. Find the latest research on Cajal bodies and gems here.
