Mission The SAR Prostate Cancer DFP mission is to collaborate with urologists, oncologists, radiation oncologists, and other groups to improve the care of patients with known or suspected prostate cancer through the clinical incorporation of optimized imaging techniques for prostate cancer detection, staging, and treatment.
The structure of the Prostate Cancer DFP After the 2020 Society of Abdominal Radiology (SAR) Annual Meeting, the leadership of the Prostate Cancer Disease-Focused Panel (DFP) transitioned from Baris Turkbey and Daniel Margolis to Silvia Chang and Antonio Westphalen.
