TLDR
MRI results show clear trends in prognosis for men with older age-related prostate cancer in terms of prognosis and disease progression, and these trends are similar to those seen in women with younger ages.
Abstract
Aging is the most important risk factor for prostate cancer (PC). Imaging techniques can be useful to measure age‐related changes associated with the transition to diverse pathological states. However, biomarkers of aging from prostate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) remain to be explored.
