Abstract
Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) has an established upfront role in the diagnostic pathway for men with a clinical suspicion of prostate cancer [1,2]. The patient benefits from prebiopsy use of prostate MRI to decide on subsequent MRI-guided biopsy (MRI pathway) compared to a systematic transrectal ultrasound–guided biopsy approach (SB) in three ways. The MRI pathway can reduce the number of unnecessary biopsies, minimise overdiagnosis of low-grade (grade group [GG] ≥1) cancers with noninferiority for detecting clinically significant (GG ≥ 2) cancers [3], and improve risk stratification of patients by facilitating targeted biopsies [4].| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
