MRI-guided active surveillance in prostate cancer: not yet ready for practice

Nature Reviews Urology, Published online: 11 December 2020; doi:10.1038/s41585-020-00416-2Multiparametric MRI enables early detection of progression and reclassification in patients with low-risk prostate cancer on active surveillance and offers the potential to reduce unnecessary biopsies. However, the reliability and reproducibility of MRI-directed surveillance during follow-up is unclear. A recent study highlights the potential and current shortcomings of this approach.
