Primary Outcome Measures:
  • To define the relative proton metabolite levels detected by MRSI at 3.0 T in normal and cancerous tissue using pathology as the gold standard. [ Time Frame: 3 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • To measure the sensitivity and specificity of localized detection of prostate cancer by 3.0 T MRSI using pathology as the gold standard. [ Time Frame: 3 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • To explore whether metabolic markers measured by 3.0 T MRSI are correlated with prostate cancer aggressiveness as defined by the Gleason score. [ Time Frame: 3 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Estimated Enrollment: 308
Study Start Date: August 2006
Estimated Study Completion Date: August 2013
Estimated Primary Completion Date: August 2013 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Arms Assigned Interventions
Experimental: 1
Patients taking part in this study will have one MRI and one MRSI scan acquired in succession during a single MR examination. For those patients who have undergone prostate biopsy it is recommended that this should be done at least eight weeks after the prostate biopsy and should take one hour to one hour and ten minutes total to complete.
Other: Magnetic Resonance Imaging; Spectroscopic Imaging, Contrast Enhanced Imaging
All MR examinations will be performed on a 3.0 Tesla whole body GE MR scanner located at the main campus (1275 York Avenue) or the Breast and Imaging Center (BAIC)(located on Second Ave. between 65th and 66th Streets). The MR examination will include MR imaging and spectroscopic imaging employing a combined torso phased array and endorectal coil receiver. The examination will require one hour to one hour and ten minutes.

  Eligibility

Ages Eligible for Study:   21 Years and older
Genders Eligible for Study:   Male
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patient must have clinically suspected or biopsy proven prostate cancer. If a patient has been diagnosed with prostate cancer an official report of biopsy from MSKCC or outside site is required. All outside pathology reports will be confirmed at MSKCC.
  • For those patients who have undergone prostate biopsy it is recommended that the interval between biopsy and protocol MRI/MRSI should be at least 8 weeks.
  • Patient is a potential surgical candidate for treatment of prostate cancer
  • Patient is willing to undergo an endorectal MRI/MRSI exam on the 3.0T MR scanner

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients who because of general medical or psychiatric condition, or physiologic status unrelated to the presence of prostate cancer cannot give valid informed consent.
  • Patients who are unwilling or unable to undergo MRI/MRSI (including patients with contra-indications to MRI such as the presence of cardiac pacemakers or non-compatible intracranial vascular clips.
  • Patients who cannot tolerate or have contra-indications to endorectal coil insertion; for example, patients who have had a prior abdominoperineal resection of the rectum or have Crohn's disease, patients with severe hemorrhoids, patients who have had prior radiation to the pelvis to treat a malignancy, or patients who have had minor rectal surgery within the previous 8 weeks.
  • Patients with an allergic reaction to latex.
  • Patients with a metallic hip implant or any other metallic implant or device in the pelvis that might distort local magnetic field and compromise quality of MRI/MRSI.
