Accurate diagnostic imaging may allow you and your doctor to make more informed treatment decisions
What does it mean when prostate cancer metastasizes? Without successful treatment, prostate cancer often spreads, or metastasizes, to different parts of the body
BONES AND OTHER PARTS OF THE BODY
PELVIC AREA
PROSTATE AREA
LYMPH NODES
Outcomes are best when prostate cancer is treated before it metastasizes (called localized disease). Outcomes become worse as the disease spreads to nearby areas, including lymph nodes both in and around the pelvis (regional metastasis), or to the bones and other parts of the body (distant metastasis). Diagnostic imaging may help determine if you have localized or metastatic disease, which can help your doctor decide how best to treat it.
