TLDR
MRI/US-fusion-guided biopsy upgrades and detects PCa of higher Gleason score in 32% of patients compared with traditional 12-core biopsy alone, and preferentially detects higher-grade PCa while missing lower-grade tumors.

Comparison of MR/Ultrasound Fusion–Guided Biopsy With Ultrasound-Guided Biopsy for the Diagnosis of Prostate Cancer

TL;DR: Among men undergoing biopsy for suspected prostate cancer, targeted MR/ultrasound fusionBiopsy, compared with standard extended-sextant ultrasound-guided biopsy, was associated with increased detection of high-risk prostate cancer and decreased detection of low- risk prostate cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Magnetic resonance imaging-targeted biopsy may enhance the diagnostic accuracy of significant prostate cancer detection compared to standard transrectal ultrasound-guided biopsy: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

TL;DR: Evidence is found to suggest that MRI-guided targeted biopsy benefits the diagnosis of prostate cancer, and the comparison of MRI-TBx and TRUS-Bx needs to be regarded with caution.

Prospective Study of Diagnostic Accuracy Comparing Prostate Cancer Detection by Transrectal Ultrasound–Guided Biopsy Versus Magnetic Resonance (MR) Imaging with Subsequent MR-guided Biopsy in Men Without Previous Prostate Biopsies

TL;DR: Comparing the diagnostic efficacy of the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) pathway with transrectal ultrasound-guided biopsy in men with elevated prostate-specific antigen found that mpMRI/MRGB reduces the detection of low-risk PCa and reduces the number of men requiring biopsy while improving the overall rate of detection of intermediate/high- risk PCa.

Multifocality and Prostate Cancer Detection by Multiparametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging: Correlation with Whole-mount Histopathology

TL;DR: It is found that tumor size and grade were important predictors of tumor detection, and although cancer is often multifocal, MRI is often able to detect the worst focus of cancer.

Value of Targeted Prostate Biopsy Using Magnetic Resonance–Ultrasound Fusion in Men with Prior Negative Biopsy and Elevated Prostate-specific Antigen

TL;DR: MR-US fusion biopsy provides improved detection of PCa in men with prior negative biopsies and elevated PSA values, and the ability of an MRI grading system to predict clinically significant cancer was investigated.

Correlation between Gleason Score of Needle Biopsy and Radical Prostatectomy Specimen: Accuracy and Clinical Implications

TL;DR: The reliability of Gleason grading of needle biopsies in predicting final pathology was good, however, the limitations of Gle Mason grading based on biopsy should be considered when discussing treatment options and comparing results based onBiopsy data.

Multiparametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Ultrasound Fusion Biopsy Detect Prostate Cancer in Patients with Prior Negative Transrectal Ultrasound Biopsies

TL;DR: Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging with a magnetic resonance Imaging/ultrasound fusion biopsy platform is a novel diagnostic tool for detecting prostate cancer and may be ideally suited for patients with negative transrectal ultrasound biopsies in the face of a persistent clinical suspicion for cancer.
