Guest guest Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Can an MRI examination be used as a screening tool when the patient has high PSA numbers and a negative biopsy? I have been reading the postings to this group for months now. I know the importance of an early detection. I also know that biopsies can miss. While MRI examinations are used after a positive biopsy, I don't read of any cases where a patient with consistent elevated PSA readings and negative biopsies then undergoes an MRI for the discovery of the cancer. How come? What am I missing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
