EMERGING SCIENTIFIC DATA INDICATES THAT MRI IMPROVES EARLY DETECTION & TREATMENT OF PROSTATE CANCER

“The lack of accurate diagnostic tools for prostate cancer has led to a public health crisis. We reviewed new scientific data from leading academic institutions around the world and concluded that with further research, accurate imaging technologies such as MRI will improve early detection, save lives, eliminate unnecessary and failed procedures, and guide minimally-invasive treatment. Research funding proposed by the Prostate Research Imaging and Men’s Education (PRIME) Act introduced in the U.S. Congress is critical for transfer of these promising technologies from bench to bedside, improving quality of life for millions of men and reducing billions of dollars in health care costs.”
