Prostate cancer remains the most common malignant tumor
in men. Hypoxia is an important prognostic biomarker. In
this study, 10 patients with biopsy confirmed prostate
cancer underwent MRI studies including oxygen enhanced
(BOLD and TOLD), DCE, and diffusion weighted MRI. The
multi-parametric maps were intercorrelated and compared
with Gleason score. ADC and R
2
* were found to
be significantly different from normal prostate and
showed general trends of decrease with higher Gleason
score. A multi-parametric approach is feasible and
provides insights into tumor pathophysiology.
