Released 03/15/26

This teaching activity provides a focused update on contemporary imaging and theranostic approaches in prostate cancer and related male genitourinary conditions. Faculty review advances in multiparametric prostate MRI, PET/CT, PSMA-targeted imaging and therapy, evaluation of bone metastases, and common diagnostic pitfalls in prostate and scrotal imaging. The activity emphasizes practical interpretation strategies and clinical application in current practice.

Target Audience 

This teaching activity is intended for radiologists, nuclear medicine physicians, radiology fellows and residents, and other healthcare professionals involved in the imaging evaluation and management of prostate cancer and male genitourinary disease.

Educational Objectives 

At the completion of this teaching activity, you should be able to:

• Apply current principles of multiparametric prostate MRI for detection and staging of prostate cancer.
• Integrate PET/CT and PSMA-targeted imaging into clinical evaluation and management.
• Recognize imaging features of prostate cancer metastases and understand contemporary treatment approaches.
• Identify common pitfalls and mimics in prostate and scrotal imaging to improve diagnostic accuracy.

Best for practicing pathologists, urologic oncologists, and trainees who want a structured, authoritative review of prostate pathology. It emphasizes diagnostic accuracy, updates in classification, and practical case‑based learning directly applicable to daily practice.

 Who Should Attend

• Pathologists interpreting prostate biopsies and resections.
• Urologic oncologists collaborating with pathology for treatment planning.
• Residents & fellows in pathology seeking foundational and advanced training in prostate pathology.
• Cytopathologists working with prostate cytology and related specimens.
• Academic faculty & researchers focusing on prostate cancer and related diseases.

 What You’ll Learn

• Histopathology essentials: benign, premalignant, and malignant prostate lesions.
• Classification updates: WHO and consensus guidelines for prostate cancer.
• Molecular pathology: biomarkers, genetic testing, and precision medicine applications.
• Challenging cases: pitfalls, mimics, and differential diagnoses in prostate pathology.
• Clinical correlation: how pathology informs surgical and oncologic management.
• Classic lectures format: authoritative teaching from Cleveland Clinic experts.
