Transperineal biopsies of MRI-detected aggressive index lesions in low- and intermediate-risk prostate cancer patients: Implications for treatment decision

摘要

PURPOSE: Multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) has a potential role for the identification of aggressive cancer that can be targeted for biopsy. We report the incidence and severity of discordant information between the pathology found on the transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) guided biopsy and the mpMRI findings in patients with favorable or intermediate-risk prostate cancer referred for brachytherapy.
