Prostate Cancer Awareness Month: Better Access to Imaging Matters
The right imaging at the right time can help support better care, while the right benefits strategy can make that care easier to access and afford.
September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, an important reminder of the role early detection and appropriate follow-up care can play in men’s health.
Prostate cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers among men. When additional evaluation is needed, imaging can help physicians better understand what is happening and determine the appropriate next step.
Imaging can play a role throughout the prostate cancer journey. Multiparametric MRI, including 3T MRI when clinically appropriate, can provide detailed images of the prostate and help physicians identify suspicious areas and guide targeted biopsies. CT, nuclear medicine, and PET/CT may also be used to evaluate the extent of disease, inform treatment decisions, and monitor patients over time.
For employers and benefits professionals, access is only part of the equation. Employees also need a clear, affordable path to care.
