The purpose of this study was to determine if DCE-MRI could predict the presence or absence of residual prostate cancer in patients after ablative treatment with photodynamic therapy (TOOKAD-PDT) for locally recurrent cancer after radiation therapy. DCE-MRI predicted residual tumor with sensitivity 10/10 (100%), specificity 5/7 (71%), PPV 10/12 (83%), NPV 5/5 (100). DCE-MRI can play an important role in not only delineating treatment response in this population but also help guide therapy and determine whether re-treatment is necessary without the need for repeat biopsy. DCE-MRI is an accurate method for predicting the presence of residual tumor after TOOKAD-PDT.
