An update on prostate biopsy in the era of Magnetic Resonance Imaging.

CONCLUSIONS: PB is the cornerstone in diagnosis and management of PCa. Although ultrasound transrectal and transperineal prostate biopsy are still considered as the standard, emerging data confirmed the role of MRI guided biopsy, particularly in patients with a previous negative biopsy. However, MRI costs and the moderate inter-reader reproducibility of the exam are still significant concerns requiring further studies to define the right role of MRI in the PCa diagnostic pathway.
