Comparison of PIRADS 3 lesions with histopathological findings after MRI-fusion targeted biopsy of the prostate in a real world-setting.

CONCLUSIONS: PIRADS 3 lesion indicates an equivocal likelihood of significant prostate cancer. In our series the overall PCa detection rate was 26.8% and 14.6% for clinically significant cancer in PIRADS 3 lesions. This evokes the question, if PIRADS 3 lesions could be surveilled only. The findings should be confirmed in a larger series.
