NCI clinician-scientists at the forefront of new prostate cancer diagnostics and treatment

At the 2013 annual meeting of the American Urological Association in San Diego, the company Invivo unveiled a product called UroNav. Resembling a stylized computer workstation on wheels, UroNav electronically fuses together pictures from magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasound to create a detailed, three-dimensional view of the prostate, which physicians can then use to guide precision biopsies. Three members of the team recently sat down, along with medical oncologist William Dahut, M.D., clinical director of NCI’s Center for Cancer Research, to discuss the challenges of prostate cancer screening, diagnosis, and treatment; benefits of image-guided biopsies; and the future of prostate cancer care.
