[Abstract] Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is an approach that can non-invasively detect the composition and content evolvement of some metabolic materials in vivo, reflecting the pathophysiological processes at the molecular level. We reviewed the literatures about MRS application in the diagnosis and radiotherapy of prostate cancer, as well as the recent progress in the prostate MRS technology.
