Re: can prostate cancer be NICE?

In the November issue of Clinical Radiology, Richenberg offers an excellent insight into the creation and updating of the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidance for prostate cancer.1 With the latest edition of this guideline, and the widespread use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) prior to prostate biopsy in the UK, it now falls on the radiologist to make an assessment of each patient's likelihood of harbouring prostate cancer. In essence, the radiologist has now become central to the decision for prostate biopsy.
