OBJECTIVES To determine the proportion of prostate cancer (PCa) patients with oligometastatic disease (≤3 synchronous lesions) using whole body magnetic resonance imaging with diffusion‐weighted imaging (WB‐MRI/DWI). To determine the proportion of patients with nodal disease confined within currentl...
