  • Title: The role of imaging in the surveillance of urologic malignancies.
    Author: Bradford TJ, Montie JE, Hafez KS.
    Journal: Urol Clin North Am; 2006 Aug; 33(3):377-96. PubMed ID: 16829272.
    Abstract:
    Urologic malignancies are common, accounting for approximately 25% of all new cancer cases in the United States. Patients with urologic malignancies require long-term surveillance to detect progression or recurrence as early as possible. The urologist is faced with the task of balancing patient safety and cost-effectiveness, while finding the most practical follow-up regimen. For each urologic malignancy, this article reviews the commonly used radiologic techniques for surveillance and offers recommended follow-up schedules.
