Letter – Can micro-ultrasound be the new first-choice test for patients with a suspicion of prostate cancer?:

摘要

We read with great interest the article by Klotz et al discussing high-resolution micro-ultrasound and multiparametric magentic resonace imaging (mpMRI) for prostate cancer detection, recently published in the Canadian Urological Association Journal.1 We would like to congratulate the authors on the honest analysis of their multicentric data; it is always difficult to retrieve scientific information from many centers, which almost always use different protocols when managing patients. We have become strong supporters of micro-ultrasound and we believe this new technology has the potential to become the first-level test for patients with a clinical suspicion of prostate cancer.
