basic, core and enhanced resource levels will utilize rigid proctoscopy and pelvic CT due to inaccessibility of MRI and endorectal ultrasound, with abdominal ultrasound and chest radiographs to evaluate metastatic disease at basic and core levels

the American College of Radiology gives recommendations for high-quality MRI in prostate cancer care, including recommendations related to the use of MRI to direct targeted biopsies. 106 In addition, the European Society of Urogenital Radiology

, proven screening and risk reduction modalities are available. For example, a woman carrying a BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation can be offered the following risk management options: semiannual breast cancer screening using both mammogram and breast MRI 3
