The Value of PSA Density in Combination with PI-RADS™ for the Accuracy of Prostate Cancer Prediction

TLDR
Using prostate specific antigen density combined with multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging improved the negative predictive value of PI‐RADS scoring, which means approximately 20% of unnecessary biopsies could be avoided safely.

Prostate MRI, with or without MRI‐targeted biopsy, and systematic biopsy for detecting prostate cancer

TL;DR: The diagnostic accuracy of the index tests MRI only, MRI-targeted biopsy, the MRI pathway and systematic biopsy as compared to template-guidedBiopsy as the reference standard in detecting clinically significant prostate cancer as the target condition was determined.

Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) density in the diagnostic algorithm of prostate cancer

TL;DR: PSA-density might inform biopsy decisions, and spare some men from the morbidity associated with a prostate biopsy and diagnosis of low-grade prostate cancer.

PI-RADS Prostate Imaging - Reporting and Data System: 2015, Version 2

TL;DR: The Prostate Imaging - Reporting and Data System Version 2 (PI-RADS™ v2) simplifies and standardizes terminology and content of reports, and provides assessment categories that summarize levels of suspicion or risk of clinically significant prostate cancer that can be used to assist selection of patients for biopsies and management.

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.
