Abstract
By evaluating abnormal metabolism, magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is a highly effective tool for diagnosing prostate cancer (PC). Our study has indicated that the level of citrate (Ci) and the ratio of the content of choline (Cho) and creatine (Cr) to that of citrate ((Cho + Cr)/Ci) are the most sensitive and specific indicators. These may be effectively used separately (to diagnose tumor involvement and to determine the degree of tumor differentiation) and as a part of the authors’ discriminant model.
The findings suggest that it is expedient to use MRS in the comprehensive diagnosis of PC.
