The Role of PSA Density among PI-RADS v2.1 Categories to Avoid an Unnecessary Transition Zone Biopsy in Patients with PSA 4-20  ng/mL

CONCLUSIONS: For TZ patients with PSA 4-20 ng/mL, PI-RADS v2.1 score ≤ 2 can avoid an unnecessary biopsy regardless of PSAD. PI-RADS v2.1 score ≥ 3 may avoid an unnecessary biopsy after combining with PSAD. PI-RADS v2.1 combined with PSAD could significantly improve diagnostic performance.PMID:34671673 | PMC:PMC8523253 | DOI:10.1155/2021/3995789
