Abstract: The value of multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging in the detection of clinically-significant prostate cancer is increasingly well-established, and has been adopted in current diagnostic pathways and clinical guidelines. Concurrently, the role of conventional ultrasound-guided systematic prostate biopsy is increasingly questioned. In this brief review, we evaluate the continued value of systematic biopsy including a review of prospective studies on targeted and systemic biopsies in the same patients. We also address current limitations of multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging of the prostate.<br /> (Copyright © 2019 The Royal College of Radiologists. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
