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.

Guidelines on Prostate Cancer
