Prebiopsy Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Prostate Cancer Detection: Comparison of Random and Targeted Biopsies

TLDR
When performed with computerized magnetic resonance imaging-transrectal ultrasound image registration, targeted biopsy alone improved cancer detection over random biopsies, decreased the detection rate of microfocal cancer and increased the Detection rate of cancer with a Gleason score of greater than 6.

Pathologic and clinical findings to predict tumor extent of nonpalpable (stage T1c) prostate cancer

TL;DR: Serum PSA level, PSA density, and needle biopsy pathologic findings are accurate predictors of tumor extent and it may be reasonable to follow up some patients whose tumors are most likely insignificant with serial PSA measurements and repeated biopsies.

Localized prostate cancer. Relationship of tumor volume to clinical significance for treatment of prostate cancer.

TL;DR: The authors calculated the probability at birth of having a diagnosis of prostate cancer within a man's life to be 8.8% and subtracted the incidence of microscopic Stage A cancers too small to ever be clinically significant.
