Novel clinical risk calculator for improving cancer predictability of mpMRI fusion biopsy in prostates

ConclusionPI-RADS classification has relevant predictability problems for grades 3 and 4. By applying the presented risk calculators, patients with PI-RADS 3 and 4 are better stratified, and thus, a significant number of patients can be spared biopsies with potential complications, such as infection and bleeding. The presented predictive models may be a valuable diagnostic tool, adding additional information in the clinical decision-making process for biopsies.
