N2 - The aim of this study is to
correlate 3D magnetic resonance
spectroscopy results
with prostate-specific
antigen (PSA) levels and
with time since externalbeam
irradiation (EBRT) to
verify successful treatment
by assessing the achievement
of metabolic atrophy (MA).
According to our results, MA
detection increases with
decreasing PSA levels and
with increasing time on
adjuvant hormone therapy
after EBRT, which supports
long-term treatment with
hormonal therapy in
advanced prostate cancer.
