I was one of those difficult cases undergoing 13 biopsies and over 150 core samples in 10 years. I also had an MRIS which was also negative. I finally had a color doppler that showed a suspicious area and was referred to Dr Bahn who used color doppler to perform targeted biopsies. He discovered a large G 4+3 tumor. The MRIS was not pleasent, having to spend over an hour in a tube with an endorectal coil up your butt. The color doppler was the most accurrate and the least invasive.

Thanks for the information. This looks like an interesting detection method. I will talk to my UCLA contatc and see what type may be able to do to help. It is just a matter of putting all the pieces together and I think we can move this process forward,
