Abstract

Multiparametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MpMRI) and MRI-guided biopsy (MRGB) are the diagnostic gold standard in the management of men with suspicious prostate cancer (PCa). There are not enough studies, yet, that compare TRUS-MRGB, COG-TB and IB-MRGB. Despite IB-MRGB could be more accurate in detecting PCa in smaller lesions and a less operator dependent technique, there are still some concerns regarding high resource costs and the chance of missing lesions not visible at MRI or detected by systematic biopsy.
