Your doctor may want to continue to monitor your PSA levels or do a repeat biopsy at some point in the future. A positive biopsy indicates that there is evidence of prostate cancer. This would be considered a diagnosis of prostate cancer. The biopsy results are used to determine the stage and grade of the tumor.

Learn More »Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) uses a magnetic field to produce clear images that may not be seen clearly with an X-ray or pictures derived from ultrasounds. It is painless and usually takes about 45 minutes to complete. After prostate cancer has been confirmed by a biopsy, an MRI is useful in enabling doctors to determine malignant areas. Some research has even suggested MRIs can help predict prostate cancer recurrence. Most MRI machines place the patient into a tube-like tunnel for the test. This is called a closed MRI. Some people, particularly those with claustrophobia, find it difficult to have the test in the closed machine and can seek to have an open MRI. If an open MRI is not accessible and the test must be done, ask your doctor for medication to help reduce anxiety before the test. A PET (positron emission tomography) scan for prostate cancer is noninvasive and uses a nuclear imaging technique to best determine if and how far cancer has spread beyond the prostate by using radioactive materials that can diagnose the disease. After the substances are released, the PET scanner machine is passed over the body to determine any cancer spread. Go to our prostate cancer imaging section to learn more information about the various imaging tests. This includes advanced imaging procedures such as a PSMA (prostate-specific membrane antigen) PET scan, which is an advancement in not only diagnosing, but even treating some types of prostate cancer. There are additional tests that can give your doctor more information on how to determine the probability of both finding cancer during a biopsy and determining how aggressive that cancer is likely to be. While none of these tests are conclusive on their own, when performed in addition to a PSA test, DRE, and a biopsy, they can provide each patient with more information about their specific cancer and can aid in both the diagnosis and decision on treatment.
