Risk of Gleason Score 3 + 4 = 7 prostate cancer upgrading at radical prostatectomy is significantly reduced by target biopsy compared to standard biopsy technique.

CONCLUSIONS: We demonstrated that TBx technique significantly reduced the risk of GS 3+4 upgrading at RP, compared to SBx one. The rate of upgrading wassignificantly associated with GP4>16%, mostly when cribriform sub-type was present at biopsy specimens. PMID: 31619029 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
