Subject: [PPML] MRI may underestimate the volume of cancer

Urologist Dr. Shaeffer at Northwestern Medicine in Chicago, quoted in the current US-TOO newsletter, https://www.prostatepedia.net/blogs/prostatepedia/focal-therapy-for-prostate-cancer-a-urologist-s-view

"There is good research from UCLA and other groups that shows that the volume of the cancer that was originally noted on MRI underestimates the true volume of the cancer by two or three times in some cases."
