How to optimize follow-up in patients with a suspicious multiparametric MRI and a subsequent negative targeted prostate biopsy. Results from a large, single-institution series
CONCLUSIONS: After a negative TBx for a positive mpMRI, more than half of Fu-mpMRI were negative. A persistent positive mpMRI was associated with a significant risk of csPCa. The risk of csPCa diagnosis in men with negative mpMRI performed after negative TBx and low PSAd was negligible.PMID:34688534 | DOI:10.1016/j.urolonc.2021.09.015
