Brief summary

The primary aim of the study is to assess the elasticity (Young's modulus) of cancerous tumor foci, of normal peripheral zone, and of normal transition zone in the prostate. Images obtained with the Supersonic Imagine Aixplorer scanner prior to radical prostatectomy are compared to whole-mount histology.

Interventions

OTHERElastography

The elastography in vivo will be performed before the prostatectomy. The elastography ex vivo will be performed after radical prostatectomy.
