New trial alert: Determining extent and grade of prostate cancer using new MRI techniques

Researchers at the University of Toronto's Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre are presently recruiting for a study to investigate the use of several new MRI techniques (including MR elastography, dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI with gadofosveset and oscillating gradient diffusion) to determine location, size, and grade of prostate cancer.

Lead by Dr. Masoom A. Haider, it is believed that these new MRI techniques will "increase the accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of MRI for detecting clinically significant prostate cancer."
