Zusammenfassung

Das Prostatakarzinom ist eine der häufigsten malignen Erkrankungen des Mannes. Trotz ständiger Fortschritte bei den bildgebenden Verfahren gilt die Prostatastanzbiopsie als Goldstandard bei der Diagnostik des Prostatakarzinoms. Auch bei der Beurteilung des Lymphknotenstatus gibt ausschließlich die Staginglymphadenektomie eine valide Auskunft. Ziel dieser Arbeit ist die Beleuchtung der in Deutschland zur Verfügung stehenden bildgebenden Verfahren mit ihrem Stellenwert beim Primär- und Lymphknotenstaging sowie beim biochemischen Rezidiv.

Abstract

Prostate cancer is one of the most frequent malignant diseases in men. Despite constant progress achieved in imaging procedures, prostate biopsy is the gold standard for diagnosing prostate cancer. For the assessment of lymph node status, only staging lymphadenectomy provides valid information. The aim of this work is to analyze the imaging procedures available in Germany and their value in primary and lymph node staging as well as biochemical recurrence.
