Accuracy of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging for detecting extracapsular extension in prostate cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

CONCLUSIONS: First, our meta-analysis shows moderate sensitivity and high specificity for mpMRI to differentiate ECE from organ-confined prostate cancer before surgery. Second, our meta-analysis shows that mpMRI had no significant differences in performance compared with the former meta-analysis with use of T2-weighted imaging alone or with additional functional MRI.
ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: It is the first meta-analysis to evaluate the accuracy of multiparametric MRI in combination of T2-weighted imaging, DWI and DCE-MRI for extracapsular extension detection.
